What HS 6005.43 covers
This category includes warp knit fabrics made from artificial fibers where the aesthetic is created by knitting together yarns that have been dyed different colors prior to knitting. This results in unique patterns, heathered effects, or multi-tone designs, leveraging the soft hand and elegant drape characteristic of artificial fibers. These fabrics are often found in fashion apparel, sophisticated loungewear, and decorative textiles, offering a refined and distinctive look. Importers are typically fashion brands, high-end garment manufacturers, and interior designers seeking unique, textured fabrics. Exporters are specialized textile mills with expertise in multi-color knitting of artificial yarns. Key aspects for trade include the complexity of the knit pattern, yarn quality, and the ability to consistently reproduce specific color combinations.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. 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).
