HS Code for Printed synthetic warp knit
HS code 6005.39 is reserved for warp knit fabrics made of synthetic fibers that have been printed. Warp knitting is a specific technique where the yarn zigzags along the length of the fabric, rather than following a single row as in weft knitting. This category includes fabrics produced on Raschel or Tricot machines. To be classified under 6005.39, the fabric must be made of synthetic fibers (such as polyester, nylon, or acrylic) and must have a printed design applied to its surface. This heading excludes pile fabrics (60.01) and fabrics containing 5% or more by weight of elastomeric yarn or rubber thread (60.04). The distinction between warp knit (60.05) and other knit (60.06) is a primary factor in customs classification, requiring technical knowledge of the fabric's construction. Warp knit fabrics are distinguished by their vertical loop structure, which makes them more resistant to runs compared to weft knits. The printing can be done on one or both sides. This code excludes "narrow" fabrics (under 30 cm) which are found in 60.03. It also excludes any fabric that has been impregnated, coated, or laminated, which would move the classification to Chapter 59.

Common Misclassification
The most common misclassification is with 6006.34, which covers weft-knitted printed synthetic fabrics. It is also often confused with 5804.10 for tulle and other net fabrics, but 6005.39 is preferred if the fabric is clearly warp-knitted. If the fabric contains more than 5% elastomeric yarn, it must be classified under 6004.10.
