Other thanthe pile fabrics of heading 60.01, this heading covers warp knits of a width exceeding 30 cm, containing no elastomeric yarn or rubber thread or containing less than 5% of such yarn or thread. Details concerning the manufacture of warp knits (including those made on galloon knitting machines) are to be found in the General Explanatory Note to Chapter 60,
Part (A) (¥±). Warp knit fabrics can take various forms. Apart from the traditional fabrics without openings, such as those used for making garments, they include open-work fabrics. These fabrics, made on warp knitting machines (especially Raschel machines), are often similar to net fabrics or lace (but should not be mistaken for the latter : see the Explanatory Note to heading 58.04) and are often used for making curtains. Like machine-made lace, such knitted or crocheted imitations of lace are often produced in fairly wide pieces which are cut into strips during the finishing process. Such strips, of indeterminate length, fall in this heading provided that their edges are straight and parallel and that their width exceeds 30 cm. This heading also excludes :(a) Bandages, medicated or put up for retail sale (heading 30.05). (b) Labels, badges and similar articles, knitted or crocheted, of heading 58.07. (c) Embroidered fabrics of heading 58.10. (d) Fabrics of Chapter 59 (e.g., impregnated, coated, covered or laminated fabrics of heading 59.03 or 59.07, rubberised fabrics of heading 59.06, and wicks or gas mantle fabric of heading 59.08). (e) Made up articles within the meaning of Note 7 to Section XI (see also Part (¥±) of the General Explanatory Note to the Section).
