HS Code for Dyed synthetic knit fabric

HS code 6006.32 is designated for knitted or crocheted fabrics made of synthetic fibers that have been dyed. This classification falls under Chapter 60, which covers all knitted or crocheted textiles. Heading 6006 is a broad category for "other" knitted fabrics that do not qualify as pile fabrics (6001), Terry fabrics (6002), or those containing a significant percentage of elastomeric yarn or rubber thread (6004). The subheading 6006.32 specifically targets synthetic materials, such as polyester or nylon, that have undergone a dyeing process. This code is used for a wide variety of circular knit fabrics used in apparel and industrial applications. The distinction between synthetic and artificial fibers is critical here, as artificial fibers would fall under 6006.42. The fabric must be "dyed," meaning it has a single uniform color, which separates it from bleached (6006.31) or printed (6006.34) knitted fabrics. This classification is essential for the global trade of jersey, interlock, and other common knit structures.

Common Misclassification

A common misclassification occurs with 6005.37, which is reserved for warp knit fabrics. 6006.32 is generally for weft or circular knits. Another error is using 6001.22, which is for pile fabrics like faux fur or terry. If the fabric contains 5% or more by weight of elastomeric yarn, it must be classified under 6004.10 instead of 6006.32. Distinguishing between synthetic and artificial fibers is also a frequent point of confusion.
