About HS Code 600536

This category encompasses warp knit fabrics made from synthetic fibers in their bleached or unbleached state. These are foundational materials, often traded as 'greige goods' or basic finished fabrics, destined for further processing such as dyeing, printing, or coating. They serve as versatile inputs for a wide array of industries, including apparel (linings, basic activewear), home furnishings, and various industrial uses. Importers are typically dyeing and finishing houses, garment manufacturers, or textile converters who add value to the raw fabric. Exporters are primary textile mills with large-scale knitting capabilities. Key aspects in trade include fiber composition verification, fabric weight, and consistency, as these properties dictate subsequent processing and end-use performance.
