6115.10.10.00 - Of synthetic fibers (659)

This HTS classification, 6115.10.10.00, specifically covers graduated compression panty hose and tights that are knitted or crocheted and are exclusively made of synthetic fibers. These items are designed to apply controlled pressure to the legs, with the compression being greatest at the ankle and gradually decreasing up the leg. This design aids in improving blood circulation, often recommended for individuals experiencing conditions such as varicose veins or for post-operative recovery.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 6115.10.15, by the material composition. While 6115.10.10.00 is limited to garments constructed from synthetic fibers, 6115.10.15 encompasses graduated compression panty hose and tights made from any other textile materials, such as natural fibers or blends not primarily composed of synthetics. The crucial differentiating factor for this specific subcategory lies in the definitive use of synthetic fibers as the sole or predominant textile component.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subdivisions under this particular code. Therefore, the focus for classification purposes remains on confirming that the graduated compression panty hose or tights are knitted or crocheted, are intended for graduated compression, and are indeed manufactured from synthetic fibers. Careful examination of the fiber content declared on the product and its packaging is essential to ensure correct classification.
