What HS 6005.22 covers
This HS code covers warp knit fabrics made of cotton, which are dyed. Warp knitting creates fabrics with excellent dimensional stability, good drape, and often a degree of stretch, making them highly versatile. These dyed cotton warp knits are extensively used in various sectors, including apparel (e.g., sportswear, intimate apparel, casual wear, linings), home textiles (e.g., bedding, upholstery components), and some technical applications. The 'dyed' characteristic means the fabric has already been colored, making it a semi-finished product ready for cutting and sewing into garments or other articles. Importers are typically garment manufacturers, textile converters, and retailers seeking finished or near-finished fabric solutions. Exporters are textile mills with advanced knitting and dyeing capabilities.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
