About HS Code 611522
This HS code covers knitted or crocheted panty hose and tights made from synthetic fibers, specifically those with a yarn count of 67 decitex or more. This decitex range signifies a thicker, more opaque, and often more durable fabric compared to the finer hosiery classified under 611521. These products are widely traded for everyday wear, warmth, fashion, and sometimes for athletic or performance purposes (excluding graduated compression). The global market for these items is substantial, driven by seasonal demand and fashion trends. Major importers are typically countries with colder climates or strong fashion retail sectors, including the US, Canada, and various European nations. Exporters are often countries with robust textile industries capable of producing synthetic yarns and advanced knitting, such as China, Italy, and Turkey. The critical elements for classification are the product type (panty hose/tights), synthetic fiber composition, and the yarn fineness (67 decitex or more).
