About HS Code 600634
This HS code applies to printed knitted or crocheted fabrics of synthetic fibres, excluding those of headings 60.01 to 60.04. These fabrics are crucial for creating visually striking and high-performance apparel, particularly in activewear, swimwear, and fashion segments where bold designs are paramount. Importers include activewear brands, swimwear manufacturers, fashion apparel companies, and digital textile printers seeking vibrant and durable prints on synthetic bases. Exporters are textile manufacturers with advanced printing technologies, such as sublimation printing, which is ideal for synthetics. Key considerations in trade involve print quality, color vibrancy, stretch retention after printing, resistance to chlorine or UV (for swimwear), and the ability to reproduce complex digital designs accurately.
