Overview
This HTS category specifically covers surgical panty hose and surgical stockings designed for orthopedic treatment, characterized by graduated compression. These items are engineered to provide targeted pressure along the limb, promoting circulation and aiding in the recovery or management of orthopedic conditions. The key defining features are their surgical application and the graduated compression technology employed.
Distinguishing this subcategory from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. While other graduated compression panty hose and tights, as well as general graduated compression hosiery, may offer therapeutic benefits, this category is reserved for items explicitly designated and utilized for orthopedic treatment. The intended medical purpose and the specialized design for orthopedic intervention are the primary differentiators.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions within this specific classification. Therefore, the focus remains on precisely identifying products that meet both the surgical and orthopedic treatment criteria with graduated compression. Importers and exporters should ensure that documentation clearly supports the intended use for orthopedic treatment to align with this classification.
