HS code for Printed rayon tricot: 6005.44
Fabrics, warp knit (including those made on galloon knitting machines), other than those of headings 60.01 to 60.04, of artificial fibres, printed.
Classification of printed rayon tricot under HS 6005.44
Printed rayon tricot falls under HS code 6005.44. This code covers warp knit fabrics made of artificial fibers that have been printed. As a warp-knit material, it is constructed by loops running lengthwise through the fabric, providing stability and run-resistance compared to weft knits. The "artificial fibers" designation refers to fibers like viscose, rayon, or acetate. The classification process requires verifying that the fabric is indeed warp-knitted and that the primary fiber content is artificial. If the fabric were dyed a solid color instead of printed, it would fall under a different subheading. This specific code is used for lightweight, breathable knitwear often used in linings or intimate apparel. The distinction between synthetic (like polyester) and artificial (like rayon) is vital for correct classification in Chapter 60. Additionally, the fabric must be "other than those of headings 60.01 to 60.04," meaning it cannot be a pile fabric or a fabric with high elastomeric content. This ensures the code is applied to standard warp-knit constructions used in general garment manufacturing.

Codes often confused with 6005.44
Common mistake. Printed rayon tricot is often misclassified under 6005.34, which is the code for printed warp-knit fabrics made of synthetic fibers. It is also commonly confused with 6005.42, which is the classification for dyed (not printed) artificial warp-knit fabrics. Furthermore, if the fabric is weft-knitted (such as a rayon jersey), it should be classified under 6006.44 rather than the warp-knit heading 6005.
Top exporters and importers of HS 600544 (the code used for printed rayon tricot), 2025

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. 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).
