6115.99.19.20 - Other (632) 🖩

This HTS category, 6115.99.19.20, encompasses a broad range of knitted or crocheted hosiery and legwear that do not fall into more specific classifications. It includes items such as panty hose, tights, stockings, socks, and other similar articles, excluding footwear with applied soles. The defining characteristic of this subcategory is that the hosiery is constructed from textile materials other than those specifically enumerated in preceding subheadings, and importantly, are not primarily composed of wool or fine animal hair.

Crucially, this classification distinguishes itself from its sibling, 6115.99.19.10, which specifically covers hosiery containing 23 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair. Therefore, to qualify for 6115.99.19.20, the material composition must be predominantly of artificial fibers, and not meet the wool content threshold for the adjacent category. This means items made primarily from materials like nylon, polyester, or spandex would generally fall here, provided they are not otherwise specified.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification within 6115.99.19.20 is determined by exclusion from more specific hosiery categories and by the predominant material composition being artificial fibers, specifically when not primarily composed of wool or fine animal hair. Importers and exporters should carefully consider the material makeup of their knitted or crocheted legwear to ensure accurate classification.
