6115.10.55.00 - Of artificial fibers (632) 🖩

This classification covers graduated compression hosiery, specifically items other than those made from cotton, synthetic fibers, or other textile materials. These are specialized garments designed to exert graduated pressure on the legs, typically from the ankle upwards, to improve blood circulation. Examples include stockings or tights intended for medical purposes, such as managing varicose veins or preventing deep vein thrombosis. The key characteristic is the engineered graduated compression, which differentiates them from standard hosiery.

This category is distinguished from its siblings primarily by the material composition. While sibling categories like 6115.10.30.00 cover cotton-based graduated compression hosiery and 6115.10.40.00 encompass synthetic fiber options, this classification is for graduated compression hosiery manufactured from artificial fibers. This includes materials like regenerated cellulose fibers (e.g., rayon, viscose) or other man-made fibers that are not classified as synthetic.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS system, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level is determined by the specific construction and material of the graduated compression hosiery. Importers and exporters should ensure accurate material declarations to correctly identify goods within this specific category, ensuring compliance with customs regulations.
