6406.90.15.10 - Other (659) 🖩

This HTS category, 6406.90.15.10, classifies leg-warmers specifically made from man-made textile fibers, excluding those that contain 23 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair. It encompasses leg coverings designed to be worn over footwear or as part of an ensemble, providing warmth and style, and are distinct from other articles of textile materials or gaiters, leggings, and similar items.

The defining characteristic of this subcategory is its material composition. While the broader category of "Of man-made fibers" includes a variety of textile articles, this specific designation isolates leg-warmers made from synthetic or artificial fibers, such as polyester, nylon, or acrylic. It is crucial to differentiate this from its sibling category, 6406.90.15.05, which specifically includes leg-warmers containing a significant proportion of wool or fine animal hair, even if man-made fibers are also present. The classification hinges on the quantitative analysis of fiber content by weight.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 6406.90.15.10. Therefore, the classification is finalized at this level based on the material composition of leg-warmers. Importers and exporters should carefully review the material declarations and, if necessary, conduct fiber analysis to ensure accurate classification of leg-warmers made from man-made fibers that do not meet the wool or fine animal hair threshold.
