6005.43.00.10 - Open-work fabrics (229) 🖩

This category specifically encompasses warp knit fabrics that are manufactured using yarns of different colors. Warp knitting is a distinct method of fabric construction where the yarns are parallel to the lengthwise (warp) direction of the fabric, and each yarn interlaces with adjacent yarns in a zigzag pattern. The defining characteristic of this subcategory is the use of multiple colored yarns to create patterns or color effects within the fabric structure. This contrasts with fabrics where the color is applied after knitting through dyeing or printing.

The primary distinction from sibling categories lies in the color treatment of the yarns. While other warp knit fabrics within heading 6005 might be made from monochromatic yarns that are subsequently dyed, or utilize advanced knitting techniques that result in color effects, this specific classification is reserved for those where the color differentiation is inherently present due to the distinct colors of the yarns used during the knitting process.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, the focus for classification under 6005.43.00.10 is on confirming that the fabric is indeed a warp knit fabric, not falling under headings 6001 to 6004, is made of artificial fibers, and most crucially, that its visual and structural coloration originates from the combination of yarns of different colors knitted together. Examples would include striped warp knits or jacquard-effect warp knits created by alternating colored yarns.
