6115.10.15.40 - Other (859) 🖩

This HTS classification, 6115.10.15.40, specifically covers graduated compression panty hose and tights that are not made from cotton, wool, or fine animal hair. These items are designed to apply graduated pressure to the legs, aiding in circulation and often used for medical or therapeutic purposes, such as managing varicose veins or preventing deep vein thrombosis. The knitted or crocheted construction is a key defining feature of all goods within heading 6115.

This category is distinguished from its siblings by its material composition. While 6115.10.15.10 covers graduated compression panty hose and tights made of cotton, and 6115.10.15.20 encompasses those made of wool or fine animal hair, this particular classification is for all other textile materials. This would include synthetic fibers like nylon and spandex, or blends thereof, when the dominant component is neither cotton nor wool.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification hinges on the material content of the graduated compression panty hose and tights, ensuring that items not falling under the cotton or wool/fine animal hair specifications are correctly placed here. Practical considerations for classification would involve examining the fiber content labels or performing material analysis if uncertainty exists.
