U.S. imports of warp knit fabrics of synthetic fibers, unbleached or bleached (HS 600536) totaled $6.7M in July 2026, traded with 28 countries.
Importers of Warp Knit Fabrics of Synthetic Fibers, Unbleached or Bleached paid $1.2M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 21% on $5.5M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataUnbleached and bleached synthetic warp-knit fabrics — the greige and base-finished goods that feed downstream dyeing and printing operations — are classified here, with South Korea and China the dominant US import sources. The US schedule breaks this heading into four tariff lines: open-work fabrics (6005360010), stitch-bonded goods (6005360020), a general line (6005360000), and a residual NESOI line (6005360080), making construction type the primary classification variable. Goods from South Korea may qualify for preferential treatment under KORUS if applicable rules of origin are satisfied.

Stitch-bonded fabrics are produced by stitching together layers of fibers, yarns, or existing fabrics using warp-knit stitching — they are not formed by conventional interloping of yarns alone. This construction method, associated with products like Malimo-type fabrics, places them in a specific tariff line. Importers should obtain mill documentation describing the production process to support classification in 6005360020 versus the residual 6005360080 line.
A fabric is considered unbleached if it retains its natural off-white or gray color from the synthetic fiber without any whitening treatment. Bleached fabrics have undergone a chemical whitening process to achieve a brighter white. Both states are captured within the same subheading 600536, so the distinction affects statistical reporting and may affect quota or trade-remedy tracking but does not change the 6-digit heading. The specific 10-digit line used should reflect the actual finishing state as documented by the mill.
