Last updated: August 2026 dataWarp knit construction — produced on raschel, tricot, or galloon knitting machines — gives these unbleached and bleached cotton fabrics a dimensional stability that distinguishes them from weft-knit alternatives, making them a preferred substrate for lace, lingerie linings, and technical textile applications. China is the leading supplier to the US market, with South Korea and Pakistan also significant sources. The entire heading maps to a single 10-digit tariff line, 6005210000, simplifying classification but placing all volume under one statistical basket for quota and trade-remedy monitoring purposes.

7 import shipments a month
In warp knitting, yarns run lengthwise and are interlooped simultaneously across the fabric width on machines such as raschel or tricot frames, producing a fabric that resists runs and has limited stretch in the length direction. Weft knit fabrics are formed by a single yarn looping across the width. CBP may request technical documentation — such as a mill certificate or fabric analysis — confirming the knitting direction when the construction is not visually obvious.
No. The heading explicitly includes fabrics made on galloon knitting machines within the same subheading as other warp knit cotton fabrics. Galloon-knit goods are not carved out into a separate tariff line under 6005210000; the parenthetical in the legal text is clarifying, not restrictive.
