HTS heading 6005 is a broad product category for warp-knit fabrics, including fabrics made on galloon knitting machines. “Warp knit” describes fabric formed from yarns running mainly lengthwise, with loops intermeshed along the fabric’s width. The heading excludes products already covered by headings 6001 through 6004, so you must first check whether the fabric belongs in one of those earlier categories.
To reach the correct 8-digit HTS code, start with the heading and then use the subheadings to identify the fabric’s fiber material or other stated characteristics. Review the official tariff wording and any relevant statistical notes: details such as man-made versus other textile fibers, fabric construction, coating, finishing, width, or weight may affect the final classification. If the product has unusual construction or multiple materials, a customs broker or binding classification ruling may be appropriate.
What to check
- Confirm that the product is actually warp-knit fabric and not woven, weft-knit, lace, pile, or another textile construction.
- Check headings 6001–6004 first to make sure the fabric is not excluded from heading 6005.
- Identify the fiber content from supplier specifications, test reports, and manufacturing records; verify whether the tariff distinguishes among fiber types.
- Read every indented subheading and applicable legal or statistical note before selecting the 8-digit code.
- Compare the proposed code with the fabric’s construction, finish, coating, width, and weight, and obtain broker advice for ambiguous products.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
