Unbleached Polyester Warp Knit Mesh Fabric

This unbleached warp knit mesh fabric is made from synthetic polyester fibers on galloon knitting machines, used primarily for sportswear and lingerie linings. It falls under HTS 6005.36.00 as it is a warp knit fabric of synthetic fibers, neither dyed nor printed, and not classifiable in headings 6001-6004. The unprocessed state (unbleached) matches the 'other, unbleached or bleached' category.

Import Tips & Compliance

โ€ข Verify fiber content exceeds 85% synthetics via lab tests to confirm Chapter 60 classification and avoid reclassification to man-made fiber blends

โ€ข Provide mill certificates showing unbleached/bleached status and warp knit construction to prevent duties under dyed fabric headings like 6005.37
