Last updated: August 2026 dataUnbleached and bleached artificial-fiber warp knit fabrics — including galloon-machine constructions — occupy a distinct processing stage between yarn and finished apparel or home textile goods. The US tariff schedule divides this heading into stitch-bonded goods (6005410020) and all other unbleached/bleached constructions (6005410080), a split that matters for classification when bonding methods are involved. China dominates US supply, with France and Italy serving as notable European sources, particularly for higher-specification technical or fashion-grade fabrics. Importers should verify fiber content documentation carefully, as misclassification between artificial and synthetic fiber headings is a common audit trigger.

HTS 6005410020 covers stitch-bonded goods of unbleached or bleached artificial fibers, while 6005410080 captures all other constructions. The stitch-bonded designation applies when a nonwoven or laid-in fiber web is consolidated by knitting stitches rather than conventional interloping, so the production method — not just fiber content — drives the correct line.
Customs requires fiber content test reports (e.g., AATCC or ISO fiber identification methods) showing the fabric is composed of regenerated cellulosic fibers such as viscose/rayon, modal, or lyocell — all classified as 'artificial' — rather than polyester, nylon, or other synthetic polymers. Mill certificates and commercial invoices should explicitly state fiber type and percentage.
