6004.10.00.10 - Open-work figured fabrics (222) 🖩

This HTS category, 6004.10.00.10, specifically classifies open-work figured knitted or crocheted fabrics that meet certain material and construction requirements. To fall under this classification, the fabric must be of a width exceeding 30 cm, contain at least 5 percent by weight of elastomeric yarn, and be of the warp knit construction. The defining characteristic of "open-work figured" implies a fabric where the stitches create patterned openings or decorative designs, often achieved through specific knitting techniques that intentionally leave gaps or holes within the fabric structure.

This classification is distinct from its sibling category, 6004.10.00.25, which covers "Other" warp knit fabrics meeting the general elastomeric yarn criteria but not specifically defined as open-work figured. Therefore, the presence of intentional, decorative openwork patterns is the key differentiator. Fabrics classified here are designed for applications where visual appeal through intricate stitch patterns and transparency is desired.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 6004.10.00.10. Classification decisions at this level will therefore hinge on a precise determination of whether the fabric exhibits open-work figured characteristics in conjunction with the specified warp knit construction and elastomeric yarn content. Examples might include lace-like warp knits used in apparel, lingerie, or decorative home textiles where the openwork pattern is a primary design feature.
