Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 611521 when importing or exporting panty hose and tights made from synthetic fibers. These items are typically knitted or crocheted and have a yarn thickness of less than 67 decitex. For example, a shipment of nylon tights for women's fashion would fall under this code.
This code specifically covers panty hose and tights that are not classified as graduated compression hosiery. If you have products designed for medical use, such as compression stockings for varicose veins, you would need to look at a different classification under HS-6 611520.
The 611521 code is part of a broader category of hosiery that includes various types of knitted or crocheted items. For instance, while this code focuses on synthetic fiber tights, HS-6 611522 covers similar products made from other materials, such as cotton or wool.
When classifying your products, consider the fiber content and the specific use of the hosiery. If your tights are made from a blend of synthetic fibers and natural fibers, you may need to explore other HS codes to ensure accurate classification.
