HS Code for Dyed cotton knit fabric

The classification of dyed cotton knit fabric under HS code 6006.22 falls within Chapter 60 of the Harmonized System, which is dedicated to knitted or crocheted fabrics. Unlike woven textiles, these fabrics are formed by interlocking loops of yarn, providing inherent stretch and flexibility. Heading 6006 serves as a residual category for knitted fabrics that do not meet the specific criteria of headings 60.01 through 60.04. Specifically, it excludes pile fabrics (60.01) and fabrics containing 5% or more by weight of elastomeric yarn or rubber thread (60.02 and 60.04). Subheading 6006.22 specifically identifies fabrics made primarily of cotton that have been dyed a uniform color. This classification is used for a wide range of apparel fabrics where the primary component is cotton and the construction is a standard knit, such as jersey, interlock, or rib knit. The dyeing process can occur at various stages, but the final product must be a solid color to fit the \"dyed\" description. This code is vital for the global trade of t-shirt fabrics and other knitwear components.

Common Misclassification

This code is often confused with HS code 6004.10 if the fabric contains 5% or more elastomeric yarn (like Spandex). It is also frequently misclassified under 6001.21 if the fabric has a pile or terry loop surface. Additionally, woven cotton fabrics are classified in Chapter 52 and should never be placed in Chapter 60.
