6115.29.80.40 - Other (859)

This HTS subcategory, "Other," under "Panty hose and tights, of other textile materials," encompasses a broad range of knitted or crocheted panty hose and tights that are not specifically classified under the preceding subcategories of cotton, or wool/fine animal hair. It serves as a residual category for hosiery where the primary textile content falls outside these more defined material classifications. This would include items made from synthetic fibers like nylon or elastane blends, as well as those composed of artificial fibers or combinations of various textile materials not predominantly cotton or wool.

The key differentiator for this classification lies in the textile composition of the panty hose or tights. While the previous sibling categories are explicitly designated for items made of cotton (6115.29.80.10) and wool or fine animal hair (6115.29.80.20), this "Other" category captures all remaining knitted or crocheted panty hose and tights made from textile materials not fitting those specific definitions. The "859" appended to the description likely indicates a large volume or a significant number of distinct sub-classifications within this broader "Other" grouping at a more granular level not detailed here.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification within 6115.29.80.40 depends entirely on the accurate identification of the primary textile component of the hosiery, ensuring it does not meet the criteria for the more specific material-based classifications at the same level. Importers must carefully review the fiber content and composition of their goods to ensure correct classification, especially when dealing with blended materials.
