6004.10.00.25 - Other (222)

This HTS category, 6004.10.00.25, specifically covers warp-knitted fabrics that contain 5 percent or more by weight of elastomeric yarn but do not contain rubber thread. These fabrics are characterized by their construction where yarns are interlaced parallel to the fabric's length, creating a stable and often durable textile. The defining feature for inclusion here is the presence of elastomeric yarn, such as spandex or elastane, which imparts stretch and recovery properties to the fabric, alongside the explicit absence of rubber thread.

This classification is distinct from its sibling category, 6004.10.00.10, which is designated for open-work figured fabrics. While both fall under the broader umbrella of warp-knitted fabrics containing elastomeric yarn, this category is for those that are not open-work or figured. This means the fabric structure is generally solid and without intentional holes or decorative patterns created by the knitting process itself.

As a leaf node within the HTS, this category does not have further subcategories. Classification at this level is determined by the specific combination of warp-knitting construction, the presence of elastomeric yarn (5% or more by weight), and the absence of rubber thread. Examples of goods that might fall under this classification include certain types of athletic wear fabrics, shapewear materials, and stretch linings, provided they meet all the specified criteria.
