6115.99.14 - Containing lace or net

This HTS category, 6115.99.14, specifically covers knitted or crocheted hosiery, excluding those with applied soles and not being panty hose, tights, stockings, or socks, where the hosiery is made from textile materials other than cotton, wool, fine animal hair, or synthetic fibers, and it notably contains lace or net. This means that the defining characteristic for classification within this sub-group is the presence of decorative lace or net elements incorporated into the fabric construction of the hosiery.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 6115.99.19, by the explicit inclusion of lace or net. The sibling category, 6115.99.19, encompasses "Other" hosiery within the "Of other textile materials" group, meaning it would apply to hosiery made from these non-specified textile materials that *do not* contain lace or net. Therefore, the presence of lace or net is the crucial differentiating factor.

Within this category, two subcategories exist to further refine the classification based on material composition. 6115.99.14.10 is for hosiery containing 23 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair, indicating a specific threshold for these natural fibers. Conversely, 6115.99.14.20, labeled "Other," would apply to hosiery within this lace/net containing group that does not meet the 23% wool or fine animal hair threshold. This subdivision allows for more precise duty assessment based on the dominant fiber content.
