HS Code for Cotton tricot fabric

Cotton tricot fabric is classified under HS code 600522. This code is designated for warp knit fabrics (including those made on galloon knitting machines) of cotton that have been dyed. Chapter 60 of the Harmonized System covers "Knitted or crocheted fabrics." Heading 6005 specifically addresses warp knit fabrics, which are distinguished from weft knit fabrics by the direction in which the loops are formed. Tricot is a classic example of a warp-knit structure, known for its stability and resistance to running. The suffix "22" indicates that the material is cotton and that it has undergone a dyeing process. This classification is essential for textile manufacturers and importers to ensure correct duty application based on the specific knitting technique and fiber content. The fabric must not contain pile yarns or be classified as "long pile" to remain within this heading.

Common Misclassification

Cotton tricot is frequently misclassified under HS code 600622, which covers "Other knitted or crocheted fabrics of cotton, dyed." The distinction lies in the knitting method: 6005 is strictly for warp-knit fabrics, while 6006 is for weft-knit fabrics (like standard circular jersey). Additionally, if the fabric is unbleached or bleached rather than dyed, it must be moved to 600521. If the fabric contains more than 5% of elastomeric yarn and weighs more than 300g/m2, it might be moved to heading 6004.
