HS code 6006.33 is the 6-digit subheading for fabrics, knitted or crocheted fabrics, other than those of headings 60.01 to 60.04, of synthetic fibres, of yarns of different colours. It is used for striped polyester jersey, Mélange nylon interlock, yarn-dyed jacquard knit, heathered spandex blend rib knit and multi-color acrylic fleece.
What HS 6006.33 covers
HS 600633 covers knitted or crocheted fabrics of synthetic fibres, made from yarns of different colours, excluding those of headings 60.01 to 60.04. These fabrics are engineered for both aesthetic appeal and performance, featuring patterns, stripes, or heathered effects created by using pre-dyed synthetic yarns. They are highly valued by sportswear brands, fashion apparel companies, and even automotive interior suppliers for their design flexibility and durability. Importers are often companies requiring specialized technical fabrics with integrated designs, while exporters are textile mills with expertise in yarn dyeing and advanced knitting technologies for synthetic materials. Key aspects of trade include the complexity and consistency of the pattern, color fastness, and the ability to maintain performance characteristics like stretch and breathability within the multi-color design.

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).
