6003.90.10.00 - Open-work fabrics, warp knit (229)

This HTS category, 6003.90.10.00, specifically classifies open-work warp knit fabrics with a width not exceeding 30 centimeters, excluding those covered by headings 6001 or 6002. Warp knit fabrics are characterized by the lengthwise yarns forming loops that are interconnected. The "open-work" designation signifies that these fabrics have deliberate holes or gaps, which can be achieved through various knitting techniques, creating a lace-like or mesh appearance.

This specific subcategory is distinguished from its sibling, 6003.90.90.00, which also falls under "Other" open-work fabrics of a width not exceeding 30 cm. The key differentiator here is the "warp knit" construction. Fabrics classified under 6003.90.90.00 would therefore encompass other types of open-work fabrics not made using the warp knitting method, such as those constructed through weft knitting or other fabric formation processes.

As this node is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 6003.90.10.00 is therefore determined by the explicit criteria of being an open-work fabric, constructed by warp knitting, and not exceeding 30 cm in width, provided it doesn't meet the exclusion criteria of headings 6001 or 6002. Examples include fine gauge mesh fabrics used for decorative purposes, lingerie components, or specialized industrial applications where an open weave is essential.
