Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 611594 when importing or exporting knitted or crocheted hosiery made from wool or fine animal hair. This includes items like woolen socks or stockings that do not have applied soles. For example, a shipment of knitted wool socks intended for winter wear would fall under this code.
This code specifically applies to hosiery that is not classified as graduated compression hosiery or panty hose. If you are dealing with items like women's knee-length wool socks that measure less than 67 decitex per single yarn, you should consider this classification.
In contrast, HS-6 611595 covers similar products made from synthetic fibers, which would not apply here. If you have knitted or crocheted hosiery made from materials other than wool or fine animal hair, you will need to look at different HS codes.
When determining the right classification, consider the material and design of the hosiery. For instance, if you have a shipment of fine wool tights that do not meet the graduated compression criteria, 611594 is the appropriate code.
