HS Code for Multi-color synthetic knit fabric
HS code 6006.33 applies to knitted or crocheted fabrics made of synthetic fibers that are composed of yarns of different colors. Synthetic fibers include polymers such as polyester, acrylic, and nylon (polyamide) staple fibers. This classification is distinct from artificial fibers (like rayon) and focuses on purely man-made chemical polymers. The fabric must not meet the criteria for headings 60.01 through 60.04, meaning it is not a pile fabric, a bolduc fabric, or a fabric containing 5% or more elastomeric yarn. The "yarns of different colors" requirement is a technical specification indicating that the visual multi-color effect is achieved through the knitting of various pre-colored yarns. This is a common classification for athletic wear, performance apparel, and patterned knit garments where the durability and colorfastness of synthetic fibers are required. The classification process involves verifying the fiber type through burn tests or chemical analysis and confirming the color application method to ensure it is not printed or piece-dyed.

Common Misclassification
The most frequent misclassification is with HS code 6006.34, which covers printed synthetic knit fabrics. If the pattern is printed on the surface, 6006.34 applies. Another common error is using 6006.32, which is for piece-dyed (solid color) fabrics. Additionally, importers often confuse synthetic fibers (6006.33) with artificial fibers (6006.43). Artificial fibers are regenerated cellulose, while synthetic fibers are chemical polymers. If the fabric has high stretch (5%+ elastomer), it must be classified under 6004.10.
