Hosiery and footwear; without applied soles, of wool or fine animal hair, knitted or crocheted (excluding graduated compression hosiery, panty hose, tights, women's full or knee-length hosiery measuring per single yarn less than 67 decitex)

HS code 611594 covers: Hosiery and footwear; without applied soles, of wool or fine animal hair, knitted or crocheted (excluding graduated compression hosiery, panty hose, tights, women's full or knee-length hosiery measuring per single yarn less than 67 decitex). This code covers a broad range of knitted or crocheted hosiery and footwear without applied soles, specifically made from wool or fine animal hair. This excludes very specific categories like pantyhose, sheer women's stockings, and medical compression hosiery. It typically includes items like wool socks, leg warmers, and knitted slippers, valued for warmth, comfort, and the natural properties of the fibers. Trade is influenced by seasonal demand, particularly in colder climates, outdoor activities, and fashion trends for cozy and sustainable wear. Importers are often markets with a strong demand for natural fiber products and performance wear, while exporters are countries with robust wool industries and advanced knitting expertise, often focusing on quality and ethical sourcing.
