HS Code for Dyed polyester tricot
Dyed polyester tricot is classified under HS code 6005.37 because it meets the specific criteria for warp-knit fabrics made of synthetic fibers that have undergone a dyeing process. The Harmonized System (HS) distinguishes between different knitting methods; tricot is a form of warp knitting where the yarn loops move lengthwise through the fabric. Heading 60.05 specifically covers warp-knit fabrics (including those made on galloon knitting machines) other than those of headings 60.01 to 60.04. Since polyester is a synthetic polymer, it falls under the synthetic fiber category. The 'dyed' designation applies to fabrics that have been colored in a single uniform color after the knitting process, distinguishing them from unbleached, bleached, or printed fabrics. To qualify for this code, the fabric must not contain more than 5% by weight of elastomeric yarn or rubber thread, as those would be classified under heading 60.04.

Common Misclassification
This product is frequently misclassified under HS code 6001.92, which covers pile fabrics of man-made fibers. While some tricot can have a brushed surface, it only moves to 60.01 if it has a distinct pile or loops. Another common error is using HS code 5407.52, which is for woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn; however, tricot is knitted, not woven. Additionally, if the fabric contains more than 5% elastomeric yarn, it must be classified under 6004.10 instead of 6005.37.
