Classification of printed cotton knit fabric under HS 6006.24

Printed cotton knit fabric is classified under HS code 6006.24. This classification is determined by the construction of the textile and its material composition. Chapter 60 of the Harmonized System covers knitted or crocheted fabrics. Within this chapter, heading 60.06 is reserved for \"other\" knitted or crocheted fabrics that do not fall under headings 60.01 (pile fabrics), 60.02 (elastomeric), 60.03 (width not exceeding 30cm), or 60.04 (width exceeding 30cm with elastomeric yarn). Subheading 6006.24 specifically identifies fabrics made of cotton that have undergone a printing process. To qualify for this code, the fabric must be weft-knitted, which is the most common form of knitting where the loops run horizontally. The printing can be achieved through various methods, including screen printing, digital printing, or rotary printing, provided the design is applied to the surface of the knitted cotton substrate after the knitting process is complete.

Codes often confused with 6006.24

Common mistake. This code is frequently confused with HS code 6005.24, which covers warp-knit fabrics of cotton that are printed. The distinction lies in the knitting technique; 6006 is for weft-knit, while 6005 is for warp-knit. Another common error is using 6006.22, which is for dyed cotton knit fabrics, or 6006.21 for unbleached or bleached fabrics. If the fabric contains more than 5% elastomeric yarn and exceeds 30cm in width, it must be classified under heading 60.04 instead of 60.06.

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. 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).
