Chapter 60: Knitted or crocheted fabrics

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 600537 when importing or exporting dyed warp knit fabrics made from synthetic fibers. For example, a shipment of polyester warp knit fabric in vibrant colors would fall under this code.

This code specifically applies to fabrics that are knitted using warp techniques, which means the yarn runs lengthwise, creating a different texture and stretch compared to weft-knitted fabrics. In contrast, HS-6 600538 covers similar fabrics but focuses on those that are not dyed.

When dealing with synthetic fibers, it’s crucial to differentiate between dyed and undyed fabrics. Dyed fabrics like those in HS-6 600537 are often used in fashion and upholstery, while undyed options may be used for other applications.

If you're unsure about the fiber content or dyeing process, consult with your customs broker to ensure proper classification and compliance with regulations.
