6004.10.00.85 - Other (222) 🖩

This classification pertains to knitted or crocheted fabrics that are over 30 cm in width and contain a significant amount of elastomeric yarn, specifically 5 percent or more by weight. These fabrics are characterized by their elasticity and stretchability, derived from the inclusion of elastomeric yarns such as spandex or elastane. They are distinct from fabrics that solely contain rubber thread.

This category is differentiated from its sibling, "Warp knit," which is also at the same level of detail. While warp knits are a specific construction method for knitted fabrics, this category focuses on the material composition – the presence of elastomeric yarn – and does not mandate a particular knitting technique. Therefore, both weft-knitted and warp-knitted fabrics can fall under this heading if they meet the elastomeric yarn content criteria.

As this is a terminal node in the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level is final, meaning goods meeting the description of containing 5 percent or more elastomeric yarn but not rubber thread, and exceeding 30 cm in width, are definitively classified under 6004.10.00.85. Examples include stretch denim, activewear knits, and certain types of hosiery fabric where elastomeric yarn provides the necessary fit and comfort.
