6005.24.00.00 - Printed (222)

This HTS category, 6005.24.00.00, specifically classifies warp knit fabrics of cotton that are printed. Warp knitting is a method where each loop is formed by a separate lengthwise yarn, resulting in fabrics that are generally more stable and less prone to unraveling than weft knits. The defining characteristic of this subcategory is the application of a printed pattern to the fabric, distinguishing it from other cotton warp knits based on their finishing treatment.

This classification is differentiated from its sibling categories by the presence of printed designs. Unbleached or bleached cotton warp knits (6005.21.00.00) are the raw or processed forms without added color or pattern. Dyed cotton warp knits (6005.22.00.00) have a uniform color throughout. Warp knits made from yarns of different colors (6005.23.00.00) achieve their multi-colored appearance through the use of pre-dyed yarns woven or knitted together, rather than a pattern applied after fabric formation.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within 6005.24.00.00 hinges on the confirmation that the fabric is indeed a warp knit of cotton and that its coloration is achieved through a printing process, as opposed to dyeing or the use of multi-colored yarns. This ensures accurate customs declarations and duties for imported or exported printed cotton warp knit fabrics.
