Classification of dyed cotton knit fabric under HS 6006.22
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.

Codes often confused with 6006.22
Common mistake. 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.

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).
