6005.38.00.10 - Open-work fabrics (229) 🖩

This HTS category, 6005.38.00.10, specifically classifies open-work warp knit fabrics made from synthetic fibers, where the yarns are of different colors. Warp knitting involves interlacing yarn loops in a lengthwise direction, creating a stable fabric structure. The "open-work" characteristic signifies fabrics with deliberate perforations or lacelike patterns, distinguishing them from solid-knit materials. The designation "of yarns of different colors" indicates that the final fabric is constructed using yarns of varying hues, resulting in a multi-colored appearance in the finished textile.

This classification distinguishes itself from its sibling category by its specific requirement for multi-colored yarns. While the sibling category may cover open-work warp knit fabrics of synthetic fibers using monochromatic yarns or yarns of the same color, this heading is exclusively for those that exhibit a pattern or design created by the interweaving of differently colored threads. It is also important to note that this category does not include fabrics covered by headings 6001 to 6004, which pertain to pile fabrics, tufted fabrics, and certain other knitted or crocheted fabrics.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, the classification relies entirely on meeting the precise criteria: being a warp knit fabric, possessing an open-work structure, being composed of synthetic fibers, and being manufactured using yarns of different colors. Examples might include certain types of decorative nets, lace-effect trimmings, or patterned fabrics used in apparel and home furnishings where the visual appeal is derived from the distinct coloration of the interwoven yarns.
