About HS Code 611521
This HS code specifically targets panty hose and tights made from synthetic fibers, characterized by a fine yarn count of less than 67 decitex. This decitex measurement indicates a very fine, sheer, and lightweight fabric, typical of many fashion hosiery products. These items are widely traded globally, catering to consumer demand for everyday wear, fashion accessories, and specialized performance hosiery (excluding medical compression). Major importers are typically countries with large consumer markets and fashion industries, such as the US, EU member states, and Japan. Exporters often include nations with strong textile manufacturing bases, particularly those specializing in synthetic fiber production and knitting technology, like China, Italy, and Turkey. The key distinguishing factors for this code are the product type (panty hose/tights), fiber composition (synthetic), and the crucial yarn fineness (less than 67 decitex), which differentiates it from heavier or non-synthetic hosiery.
