6115.96.60.10 - Containing 23 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair (432)

This HTS subcategory, 6115.96.60.10, specifically classifies knitted or crocheted hosiery, such as panty hose, tights, stockings, socks, and other similar foot coverings, that are *not* footwear with applied soles. The defining characteristic for this particular classification is that the articles must contain 23 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair. This material composition is the primary determinant for inclusion in this specific code, setting it apart from other classifications within the broader hosiery category.

Within the "Of synthetic fibers: Containing lace or net" grouping, this subcategory is distinct from its sibling, 6115.96.60.20, which covers "Other" knitted or crocheted hosiery of synthetic fibers containing lace or net but *not* meeting the specified wool or fine animal hair content threshold. Therefore, the key differentiator is the presence of a substantial amount of wool or fine animal hair in the synthetic fiber blend.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification at this level relies entirely on the material composition criteria. Examples of items falling under this code would include stockings or tights made primarily from synthetic fibers but with a significant percentage of wool or cashmere blended in, and which also incorporate lace or net elements. The absence of applied soles is also a fundamental requirement for inclusion within HTS 6115.
