HS Code 6115.29 – Hosiery; panty hose and tights (other than graduated compression hosiery), of textile materials (other than synthetic fibres), knitted or crocheted

HS code 6115.29 is the 6-digit subheading for hosiery, panty hose and tights (other than graduated compression hosiery), of textile materials (other than synthetic fibres), knitted or crocheted. It is used for cotton tights, wool blend pantyhose, silk tights, cashmere tights and bamboo fiber tights.

What HS 6115.29 covers

This HS code is a residual category for knitted or crocheted panty hose and tights made from textile materials other than synthetic fibers, and excluding graduated compression hosiery. This encompasses hosiery made from natural fibers like cotton, wool, silk, or blends where these non-synthetic fibers are predominant. Trade in these products often caters to specific consumer preferences for natural materials, comfort, breathability, or luxury. Importers typically include countries with a demand for high-quality, natural fiber apparel, such as European nations, the US, and Japan. Exporters can be countries with strong natural fiber production and processing capabilities, or those specializing in premium textile manufacturing, like Italy, China (for silk/cotton), and Peru (for alpaca wool). The key for classification is the product type (panty hose/tights) and the fiber composition being non-synthetic, ensuring it doesn't fit the more specific synthetic hosiery codes or medical compression hosiery.

How these figures are built

109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
