Product classification
HS code for Striped artificial fiber warp knit: 6005.43
Fabrics, warp knit (including those made on galloon knitting machines), other than those of headings 60.01 to 60.04, of artificial fibres, of yarns of different colours.
Classification of striped artificial fiber warp knit under HS 6005.43
Warp knit fabrics made of artificial fibers using yarns of different colors are classified under HS code 6005.43. This code is part of Chapter 60, which covers knitted or crocheted fabrics. The classification is hierarchical: first, it is identified as a warp knit fabric (heading 6005); second, it is identified by the material (artificial fibers such as rayon, acetate, or lyocell); and third, by the color application (yarns of different colors). Warp knitting is a specific technique where the yarn zigzags along the length of the fabric, distinguishing it from weft knitting. The term "yarns of different colors" typically refers to fabrics that are striped, heathered, or patterned during the knitting process rather than being dyed a single color or printed afterward. This distinction is crucial for textile trade because yarn-dyed fabrics often carry different value and duty rates compared to piece-dyed or printed fabrics.

Codes often confused with 6005.43
Common mistake. This product is often misclassified under 6005.42, which is for dyed artificial fiber warp knits, or 6005.44, which is for printed versions. It is also frequently confused with 6005.33, which covers warp knits made of synthetic fibers (like polyester or nylon) rather than artificial fibers (regenerated cellulose).

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).
