6005.22.00.00 - Dyed (222)

This HTS category, 6005.22.00.00, specifically covers warp knit fabrics of cotton that have been dyed. Warp knitting is a method of producing knitted fabrics by interlacing a set of warp yarns with weft yarns, creating a fabric with distinct vertical ribs and a stable construction. The key characteristic here is that the fabric has undergone a dyeing process, resulting in a uniform color throughout the textile. This applies to fabrics dyed after knitting or dyed yarns incorporated during the knitting process.

This classification distinguishes itself from its siblings by its method of coloration. Unlike 6005.21.00.00, which covers unbleached or bleached cotton warp knit fabrics, this category deals with fabrics that have been intentionally colored through dyeing. It also differs from 6005.23.00.00, which is for warp knit fabrics made from cotton yarns of different colors, creating a patterned effect through the use of multi-colored yarns. Furthermore, it is distinct from 6005.24.00.00, which pertains to warp knit fabrics that have been printed, typically with designs or patterns applied to the surface of the fabric after it has been knitted.

As a leaf node in the HTS classification system, 6005.22.00.00 does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the classification is definitive for dyed cotton warp knit fabrics. Examples of products that would fall under this heading include various types of cotton jersey, interlock, and other warp knitted constructions that have been dyed to a single color. The focus remains on the fabric construction (warp knit), the primary fiber content (cotton), and the finishing process (dyed).
