6005.39.00.20 - Stitch-bonded goods (223) 🖩

This HTS category, 6005.39.00.20, specifically covers stitch-bonded fabrics of synthetic fibers that are classified as "other, printed." Stitch-bonded fabrics are characterized by their construction where yarns are directly incorporated into the fabric structure by stitching, often resulting in a fabric with textile-like properties but without the interlacing or interlocking of yarns typical of knitted or woven goods. The "printed" designation indicates that these fabrics have undergone a process of applying designs or patterns using inks or dyes.

This classification is distinct from its sibling category, 6005.39.00.80, which covers "other" stitch-bonded fabrics of synthetic fibers that are not printed. Therefore, the defining characteristic for inclusion in this 6005.39.00.20 category is the presence of printing on the fabric's surface. Both categories fall under the broader heading of "Other, printed" fabrics within the "Of synthetic fibers" subgroup of warp knit fabrics, meaning they are neither made from natural fibers nor fall into the more specific classifications of headings 6001 to 6004.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. Classification into this specific code is therefore dependent on fulfilling the criteria of being a stitch-bonded fabric, made of synthetic fibers, and being decorated by printing. Examples of goods that would fall here include printed technical textiles used for banners, certain upholstery materials, or specialized non-woven products where the fabric structure is achieved through stitching and the surface is printed with a design.
