6115.29.80 - Other

This HTS category, 6115.29.80, encompasses "Other" panty hose and tights that are knitted or crocheted, and are not made of silk or silk waste. It falls under the broader classification of hosiery, which includes items like stockings, socks, and graduated compression hosiery, excluding footwear with applied soles. The "Other" designation signifies that these items are not specifically covered by preceding subheadings within this classification.

Unlike its sibling category, 6115.29.40, which specifically covers panty hose and tights containing 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste, this category applies to all other textile materials not meeting that specific silk content. This distinction is crucial for accurate classification, as the primary fiber content is the determining factor.

Within 6115.29.80, further subdivisions exist to refine classification based on the dominant textile material. These include specific categories for items made predominantly of cotton (6115.29.80.10), wool or fine animal hair (6115.29.80.20), and a residual "Other" category (6115.29.80.40) for items composed of textile materials not falling into the preceding specific groups. This tiered approach allows for granular tracking and duty assessment based on the material composition of the hosiery.
