6005.41.00 - Unbleached or bleached

This HTS category encompasses warp knit fabrics, specifically those not falling under headings 6001 to 6004, which are manufactured using artificial fibers. The defining characteristic of this subcategory, 6005.41.00, is that the fabrics are presented in an unbleached or bleached state. This means the textile material has undergone minimal processing, either retaining its natural color or having been whitened without the addition of dyes or printed patterns.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. While all fall under warp knit fabrics of artificial fibers, the sibling categories 6005.42.00, 6005.43.00, and 6005.44.00 specifically cover fabrics that have been dyed, constructed from yarns of different colors, or printed, respectively. Therefore, 6005.41.00 is reserved for those warp knit fabrics of artificial fibers that lack these subsequent coloring or patterning treatments.

Further subdivision exists within this category, offering more granular classification. The subcategory 6005.41.00.10 specifically addresses open-work warp knit fabrics, characterized by deliberate holes or mesh structures. Following this, the "Other" designation indicates a residual category for all remaining unbleached or bleached warp knit fabrics of artificial fibers that do not meet the criteria for open-work fabrics. This hierarchical structure allows for precise identification based on both the finishing state and the structural design of the fabric.
