Classification of dyed synthetic knit fabric under HS 6006.32

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.

Codes often confused with 6006.32

Common mistake. 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.

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).
