6115.96 - Of synthetic fibers:

This HTS category, 6115.96, specifically covers "Other" knitted or crocheted hosiery, excluding panty hose, tights, stockings, socks, graduated compression hosiery, and footwear without applied soles, that are primarily made of synthetic fibers. The "Other" designation indicates that these are items not falling under more specific subheadings within the broader hosiery classification of 6115.

This classification is distinguished from its siblings by its material composition. Unlike 6115.94.00.00 which is for wool or fine animal hair, or 6115.95 which is for cotton, this category exclusively pertains to hosiery constructed from synthetic fibers. It also differs from 6115.99 which encompasses hosiery made from other textile materials not specifically synthetic.

Within this category, further distinctions are made through its subcategories. 6115.96.60 applies to items that incorporate lace or netting as a significant component, suggesting a decorative or structural element beyond basic knit. Conversely, 6115.96.90 covers all remaining hosiery made of synthetic fibers that do not fit the specific criteria for the lace or net subcategory.
