Overview
This classification, HTS Code 6005.39.00, encompasses warp knit fabrics, excluding those specified in headings 6001 to 6004, which are composed of synthetic fibers and are distinguished by being printed. These fabrics are manufactured using a warp knitting process, where yarns are interlooped in parallel columns to create a stable, often elastic fabric. The key distinguishing feature of this category is the presence of printing on the fabric surface, which can range from simple patterns to complex designs.
Within the broader category of "Warp knit fabrics, of synthetic fibers," this heading is differentiated from its siblings based on the fabric's surface treatment. It specifically covers printed fabrics, whereas siblings such as 6005.36.00 are unbleached or bleached, 6005.37.00 are dyed, and 6005.38.00 are constructed from yarns of different colors. This distinction is crucial for accurate tariff assessment, as the application of printing represents a further processing step beyond basic coloration or material composition.
This category further divides into subcategories to allow for more granular classification. Specifically, the open-work fabrics falling under 6005.39.00.10 are distinguished by their porous structure, often created through specialized knitting techniques. The "Other" subcategory, which would follow, encompasses all printed warp knit fabrics of synthetic fibers that do not meet the specific criteria for open-work designs, thus capturing the remaining variety of printed warp knit fabrics within this heading.
