HS Code 6115Hosiery; panty hose, tights, stockings, socks and other hosiery, including graduated compression hosiery (for example, stockings for varicose veins) and footwear without applied soles, knitted or crocheted
9 six-digit codes · Heading 15 of 17 in Chapter 61 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
This page explains what fits here, how to pick the right subheading, and where to look for real shipment records.
Heading 6115 is finely cut: 9 six-digit codes, 611510 to 611599, all of them under “Hosiery; panty hose, tights, stockings, socks and other hosiery, including graduated compression hosiery (for example, stockings for varicose veins) and footwear without applied soles, knitted or crocheted”. At that depth it is the exact wording of the code, not of the heading, that settles a classification. The heading is number 15 of 17 in Chapter 61, Apparel and clothing accessories; knitted or crocheted, which runs to 106 six-digit codes in all.

What HS code 6115 covers
Think of heading 6115 as the sock drawer of Chapter 61 apparel. It also holds compression stockings, such as those worn for varicose veins. The last group is footwear without applied soles, which means knitted foot coverings with no sole attached.
Everything here is knitted or crocheted. Woven items belong in other chapters. Some people search for this heading as HSN code 6115, but it is the same product group.
The six-digit subheadings split the heading in three ways: by product type, by yarn thickness in decitex, and by fibre. The next section shows how.
How to choose the right 6115 subheading
Work through the codes in order and stop at the first one that fits. Decitex is a measure of yarn thickness. A lower number means a thinner yarn. The rules below count the decitex of each single yarn.
Read the full code wording before you decide. The short labels here are only a guide.
- 611522 is for 67 decitex or more.
- Step 3, panty hose and tights of other materials: 611529 covers anything not made of synthetic fibres.
- Step 5, all other hosiery and soleless footwear, sorted by fibre: 611594 is wool or fine animal hair, 611595 is cotton, 611596 is synthetic fibres, and 611599 is any other textile material.
Hosiery or another Chapter 61 heading?
Some knitted items look close to hosiery but sit in a different heading. Check these before you settle on 6115. If you are still unsure, try the HS code classifier.
- Women's slips, panties and nightwear go to 6108, not here.
- Other made-up clothing accessories, and parts of garments, go to 6117.
