6115.94.00.00 - Of wool or fine animal hair (432) 🖩

This HTS category, 6115.94.00.00, specifically covers knitted or crocheted hosiery items, such as panty hose, tights, stockings, socks, and graduated compression hosiery, that are not footwear with applied soles. The defining characteristic of this classification is that these items are predominantly made of wool or fine animal hair. This includes materials like cashmere, alpaca, angora, and other animal fibers meeting the "fine" hair criteria.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. Unlike 6115.95, which covers similar hosiery made of cotton, or 6115.96, which applies to those made of synthetic fibers, 6115.94 is exclusively for articles composed primarily of wool or fine animal hair. If the hosiery contains a blend of materials, the classification would be determined by the predominant fiber content, following standard HTS rules for mixed textile articles.

As a leaf node, 6115.94.00.00 represents the most specific level of detail for this particular product type. Therefore, instead of introducing further subdivisions, classification within this category relies on confirming that the hosiery is knitted or crocheted, falls under the broader definition of hosiery (excluding footwear with applied soles), and is indeed manufactured from wool or fine animal hair as the principal component. Examples would include luxury wool tights or fine cashmere socks.
