6006.44.00 - Printed

This HTS classification, 6006.44.00, specifically covers knitted or crocheted fabrics of artificial fibers that are printed. This means the fabric itself has undergone a printing process to impart a design, pattern, or image onto its surface. This category applies to a wide array of printed textiles made from artificial fibers such as rayon, nylon, polyester, and acrylic, regardless of the specific printing technique used.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its siblings. Fabrics classified under 6006.41.00 are either unbleached or bleached, meaning they have not undergone dyeing or printing. Those under 6006.42.00 are dyed, indicating they have a uniform color applied without a printed design. Furthermore, 6006.43.00 applies to fabrics made from yarns of different colors, where the color variation is inherent in the yarn construction rather than a printed application. This category, 6006.44.00, is exclusively for fabrics where a distinct printing process has been applied.

Within this classification, further subdivisions exist to refine the categorization. The subcategories 6006.44.00.25 and 6006.44.00.85 differentiate based on the construction of the knitted fabric, specifically whether it is of a double knit or interlock construction versus "other" types. This distinction allows for more granular tracking and statistical analysis of the diverse range of printed artificial fiber fabrics entering or exiting a country.
