Overview
This HTS category, 6115.30.90, encompasses "Other" knitted or crocheted women's full-length or knee-length hosiery, specifically those where the single yarn measures less than 67 decitex. This classification applies to hosiery that does not fall under the more specific silk-based categories within the same parent heading. The defining characteristic is the fineness of the yarn used, indicating lightweight and often sheer hosiery designed for women.
Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 6115.30.10.00, is crucial. While both cover fine-gauge women's hosiery, 6115.30.10.00 is exclusively for products containing 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste. Therefore, 6115.30.90.00 serves as the catch-all for all other fine-gauge women's hosiery meeting the decitex requirement, regardless of fiber content, as long as it's not primarily silk.
Within this "Other" classification, further subdivision exists to refine the classification based on the primary fiber content. Subcategory 6115.30.90.10 is designated for hosiery made of man-made fibers, providing specific tariff treatment for materials such as nylon, polyester, or elastane. The remaining hosiery, not primarily composed of silk or man-made fibers, will be classified under 6115.30.90.30, encompassing other natural fibers or blends thereof.
