Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the fabric contains 5% or more by weight of elastomeric yarn or rubber thread
Heading 60.04 covers knitted or crocheted fabrics containing elastomeric yarn or rubber thread, which takes precedence over heading 60.06 for such fabrics.
If the fabric is dyed a single uniform colour rather than printed
Dyed knitted fabrics of artificial fibres are classified under 6006.32.00, while 6006.44.00 is specific to printed fabrics.
If the fabric is of wool or fine animal hair rather than artificial fibres
Knitted fabrics of wool or fine animal hair are classified under heading 6006.41, but this alternative would only apply if the fibre content is misidentified.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the fabric is described as knitted interlock construction and of artificial fibres (viscose modal) to support classification under 6006.44.00
• If the fabric contains elastomeric yarn (e.g
• spandex) in a proportion of 5% or more by weight, it may be classified under heading 60.04 instead
• Keep commercial documents showing the printing process to distinguish from dyed or bleached fabrics
