6005.41.00.10 - Open-work fabrics (229) 🖩

This HTS category encompasses warp knit fabrics, excluding those specifically classified under headings 6001 to 6004, which are made from artificial fibers. Warp knitting is a fabric construction method where yarn is interlaced in a zigzag pattern, forming vertical loops. This category specifically includes fabrics that are either in their unbleached state (raw, as produced from the knitting machine) or have undergone bleaching processes to remove natural coloration and prepare them for further dyeing or finishing.

The distinction between this category and its sibling, "Other," lies in the processing state of the fabric. While the sibling category would likely cover warp knit fabrics of artificial fibers that are dyed, printed, or otherwise finished beyond bleaching, this category is strictly limited to unbleached or bleached materials. This means the fabric is either in its natural, uncolored state or has been treated to achieve a white or near-white appearance, but has not yet received any color or pattern application.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to describe. Classification under 6005.41.00.10 is definitive once the material is identified as a warp knit fabric of artificial fibers and confirmed to be in an unbleached or bleached condition. Practical examples would include greige goods or white-finished fabrics intended for apparel, home furnishings, or industrial applications that will undergo subsequent coloration or treatments.
