HS Code for Wool slippers

The classification of wool slippers under HS code 6115.94 is highly specific to the construction of the item, particularly the absence of an applied sole. Under the Harmonized System, Chapter 61 covers articles of apparel and clothing accessories that are knitted or crocheted. Heading 6115 is dedicated to hosiery, including stockings, socks, and footwear without applied soles. When slippers are constructed as knitted wool "sock-slippers" or "house shoes" without a separate, attached outer sole made of rubber, plastic, or leather, they are classified here. The presence of a sole is the deciding factor between Chapter 61 and Chapter 64 (Footwear). Subheading 6115.94 specifically identifies these items when made of wool or fine animal hair. This classification excludes graduated compression hosiery and full-length hosiery measuring per single yarn less than 67 decitex. The item must be knitted or crocheted; woven slippers without soles would fall under a different category in Chapter 62. This distinction is critical for trade statistics and duty assessment.

Common Misclassification

Wool slippers are often misclassified under HS code 6405.20, which covers footwear with outer soles of rubber or plastic and uppers of textile materials. If the slipper has any form of an applied sole, it must be moved to Chapter 64. Additionally, 6115.95 is often used by mistake, but that code is specifically for cotton hosiery.
