6005

Analysis

Heading 6005 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers warp knit fabrics (including those made on galloon knitting machines), other than those of headings 6001 to 6004. It divides into 14 six-digit subheadings and 15 eight-digit tariff lines, with 31 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.

None of its 15 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 10% to 10% with a median of 10%, so the line you choose sets the duty.

The largest subheadings are 6005.90 (other, 2 lines), 6005.21 (unnamed, 1 line), 6005.22 (unnamed, 1 line) and 6005.23 (unnamed, 1 line).

By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Knit Fabric Mills (313240). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.

Its median rate of 10% sits at the 55th percentile of the headings in chapter 60.

The heading text decides whether a product belongs here at all (General Rule of Interpretation 1); the subheadings and lines below it only apply once that is settled. Section and chapter notes can override the heading wording, so read them for borderline goods.
