Classification of dyed rayon tricot under HS 6005.42
Dyed rayon tricot is classified under HS code 6005.42. This code is designated for warp-knit fabrics made of artificial fibers that have been dyed. Rayon, being a regenerated cellulose product, is categorized as an artificial fiber in the textile nomenclature. The term 'tricot' refers to a specific warp-knitting structure characterized by fine ribs running longitudinally on the face of the fabric. Under the HS system, Chapter 60 covers knitted or crocheted fabrics, and heading 60.05 specifically addresses warp-knit fabrics that do not fall under the pile fabric or elastomeric categories of 60.01 to 60.04. The subheading 6005.42 is specific to artificial fibers (like rayon, viscose, or acetate) that have been dyed a solid color.

Codes often confused with 6005.42
Common mistake. This product is often confused with HS code 6005.37, which is for dyed warp-knit fabrics of synthetic fibers (like polyester or nylon). It is critical to distinguish between synthetic and artificial fibers. Another common mistake is classifying it under 6002.40 if the fabric contains significant elastomeric content (5% or more), or under 6001.22 if it is a knitted pile fabric. Additionally, if the fabric is printed rather than dyed, it should be classified under 6005.44.

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. UN Comtrade records Taiwan as "Other Asia, not elsewhere specified". Saudi Arabia's exports under that code are left out: they are far too large to be trade with Taiwan, so mostly undisclosed partners. 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).
