6006.24 - Printed:

This HTS category, 6006.24, encompasses knitted or crocheted fabrics of cotton that are distinguished by being printed. This means the design or pattern is applied to the fabric surface after it has been knitted or crocheted. The printing can occur in a variety of colors and patterns, distinguishing it from other categories based on the coloration or construction of the yarns.

Unlike its siblings, 6006.21 (unbleached or bleached), 6006.22 (dyed), and 6006.23 (of yarns of different colors), the defining characteristic here is the *printed* nature of the fabric. While dyed fabrics may have solid colors applied to the yarn or fabric, and fabrics of yarns of different colors achieve their pattern through the interweaving of pre-colored yarns, 6006.24 specifically refers to designs or patterns that are imprinted onto the surface of the cotton fabric.

The subcategories within 6006.24 further refine the classification based on construction and yarn characteristics. Subcategory 6006.24.10.00 specifically addresses circular knit fabrics made entirely from cotton yarns where each individual yarn exceeds a count of 100 metric number. The remaining printed cotton fabrics, which do not meet these specific criteria, are classified under 6006.24.90.
