6006.42.00 - Dyed

This HTS category, 6006.42.00, specifically covers knitted or crocheted fabrics of artificial fibers that have been dyed. This includes a wide range of fabrics where the coloration is achieved through dyeing processes applied to the fabric after it has been knitted or crocheted, or where the artificial fibers themselves have been dyed prior to fabrication. The key criterion for classification here is the post-fabrication dyeing of the fabric constructed from artificial fibers.

It is important to distinguish this category from its siblings. 6006.41.00 pertains to unbleached or bleached fabrics of artificial fibers, meaning they have undergone minimal or no dyeing. In contrast, 6006.43.00 covers fabrics made from artificial yarns of different colors, implying a multicolored effect achieved through the use of pre-dyed yarns rather than a uniform dye applied to the finished fabric. 6006.44.00 is for printed fabrics, where a pattern is applied to the surface of the fabric.

Within 6006.42.00, further subdivisions exist to refine classification based on specific construction and type. The subcategories 6006.42.00.25 and 6006.42.00.85 allow for a more granular breakdown, differentiating between fabrics of a double knit or interlock construction and all other types of dyed knitted or crocheted fabrics made of artificial fibers, respectively. This allows for precise identification and statistical tracking of distinct fabric types within this dyed category.
