6006.23 - Of yarns of different colors:

This HTS category, 6006.23, specifically covers knitted or crocheted fabrics made from cotton yarns that are of different colors. The defining characteristic is the presence of multiple colors within the yarn itself or woven/knitted into the fabric such that distinct colored yarns are evident. This distinguishes it from fabrics where the color is applied uniformly to the entire fabric after knitting or crocheting.

Unlike its siblings, 6006.23 is not limited to unbleached, bleached, dyed, or printed fabrics where a single color is dominant or applied as a finish. Instead, it focuses on the inherent multicolored nature of the cotton yarns used in the construction of the fabric, such as those featuring striped, checkered, or heathered appearances due to the use of variously colored threads.

Within this category, further subclassification exists to refine the classification based on specific construction and yarn characteristics. The subcategories are 6006.23.10.00, which applies to circular knit fabrics made entirely of cotton yarns with a specific fineness (exceeding 100 metric number per single yarn), and 6006.23.90, which encompasses all other knitted or crocheted fabrics of cotton yarns of different colors not meeting the criteria for the more specific subcategory.
