6006.21.90.20 - Of single knit construction (222)

This HTS code, 6006.21.90.20, specifically classifies cotton fabrics of a single knit construction that are unbleached or bleached. "Single knit construction" refers to fabrics formed with one set of needles, typically resulting in a fabric that is smooth on one side and has loops visible on the reverse, such as jersey or interlock knits. The material composition is definitively cotton, and the fabric has undergone processing to remove natural coloring (unbleached) or to achieve a white or lighter shade (bleached).

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 6006.21.90.80, which covers "Other" knitted or crocheted fabrics of cotton, unbleached or bleached. While 6006.21.90.20 focuses narrowly on single knit constructions, the sibling category would encompass other types of knitted or crocheted fabrics that do not meet the specific definition of single knit construction. This could include double knit fabrics or those with more complex stitch formations not characteristic of a single knit.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories under 6006.21.90.20. Therefore, the focus is on providing clarity regarding the specific criteria that define goods falling within this code. Importers and exporters should ensure that the fabric in question is indeed of cotton, possesses a single knit construction, and has either not been bleached or has been bleached, to correctly apply this classification.
