HS code for Rayon tricot fabric: 6005.41
Fabrics, warp knit (including those made on galloon knitting machines), other than those of headings 60.01 to 60.04, of artificial fibres, bleached or unbleached.
Classification of rayon tricot fabric under HS 6005.41
Rayon tricot fabric is classified under HS code 6005.41 because it is a warp-knit fabric manufactured from artificial fibers. The Harmonized System distinguishes between warp knitting, where loops are formed in a longitudinal direction, and weft knitting. Heading 60.05 specifically encompasses warp-knit fabrics, including those produced on galloon knitting machines, provided they are not pile fabrics or fabrics containing 5% or more by weight of elastomeric yarn. The sub-heading 6005.41 is designated for fabrics made of artificial fibers, such as viscose rayon or acetate, that are in an unbleached or bleached state. This classification is determined by the technical construction of the textile and the chemical origin of the fibers, which are man-made from natural polymers. Importers must ensure the fabric does not contain significant synthetic content or elastomeric threads that would shift the classification to other headings within Chapter 60.

Codes often confused with 6005.41
Common mistake. This code is frequently confused with HS code 6005.42, which covers dyed artificial warp-knit fabrics. The distinction lies entirely in the finishing process; 6005.41 is strictly for unbleached or bleached materials. Additionally, it may be confused with HS code 6001.92, which covers pile fabrics. If the tricot has a raised surface or loops intended to create a pile, it must be moved to 60.01. Furthermore, if the fabric contains 5% or more elastomeric yarn, it falls under 6004.10.

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).
