HS Code 6005Fabrics; warp knit (including those made on galloon knitting machines), other than those of headings 60.01 to 60.04

What HS code 6005 covers

Warp knit fabric is made by knitting loops along the length of the cloth. Heading 6005 holds these fabrics. It also takes in cloth made on galloon knitting machines. The heading sits in Section XI, Textiles and Textile Articles, inside the chapter for knitted or crocheted fabrics.

The heading has one limit. Any fabric that fits one of the earlier headings, 60.01 to 60.04, goes there instead. Check those first.

You may also see this heading called HSN code 6005 or HTS code 6005. These are local names for the same tariff classification. The first six digits come from the World Customs Organization system and are the same in every country. A country may add more digits after them, so check your local tariff list.

HS 6005 subheadings by fibre

The six-digit codes split first by fibre and then by finish. The full customs wording is in the table above. Here is the short version.

Subheading Note 1 to the chapter lists which synthetic fibres qualify for 600535. Read that note before you use the code.

• Cotton: 600521 unbleached or bleached, 600522 dyed, 600523 yarns of different colours, 600524 printed

• Other: 600590 for the remaining fibres

How to classify warp knit fabric under HS code

Work through four steps. Stop when one step gives a clear answer.

If the fabric is hard to place, try the HS code classifier before you file anything. A wrong code can cause delays at the border.

• Step 1: Confirm the fabric is warp knit.
• Step 2: Rule out headings 6001 to 6004. They cover pile and terry cloth, narrow cloth, and cloth with elastomeric yarn or rubber thread.
• Step 3: Pick the fibre: cotton, synthetic, artificial or other.
• Step 4: Pick the finish: bleached or unbleached, dyed, yarns of different colours, or printed.
