Overview

Chapter 61, falling under Section XI (Textile and Textile Articles), specifically addresses knitted or crocheted articles of apparel and clothing accessories. HTS Code 6115 encompasses a diverse range of hosiery items that are constructed through knitting or crocheting. This category primarily includes panty hose, tights, stockings, and socks. Notably, it also extends to specialized items such as graduated compression hosiery, commonly used for medical purposes like managing varicose veins, as well as footwear that lacks applied soles, yet is knitted or crocheted.

The scope of HTS 6115 is distinct from its siblings within the broader HTS structure, which cover entirely different product groups such as live animals (Chapters 01), minerals (Chapter 25), or prepared foodstuffs (Chapters 16-24). Within Chapter 61 itself, 6115 is differentiated from other knitted apparel by its specific focus on legwear and foot coverings, unlike garments such as shirts (6105), trousers (6103), or sweaters (6110). The defining characteristic is the knitted or crocheted construction of these particular hosiery items.

The subcategories within 6115 provide for further specificity based on the type and construction of the hosiery. For instance, graduated compression hosiery is separately classified due to its specific medical application and graduated pressure design. Other subdivisions differentiate based on the type of hosiery, such as panty hose and tights, and further refine classifications by the decitex (a measure of yarn fineness) of the single yarn used, particularly for women's full-length or knee-length hosiery. This granular breakdown allows for precise duty assessment and statistical tracking.
