Graduated Compression Pantyhose with Nylon Spandex Blend from Germany
These pantyhose feature a graduated compression design that applies varying pressure levels from ankle to thigh to improve circulation, made from a nylon and spandex blend excluding wool, cotton, or fine animal hairs. They fall under HTS 6115.10.15.40 as other graduated compression panty hose of other textile materials, specifically for varicose vein support. The knitted construction and medical-grade compression distinguish them from regular hosiery.

Import Tips
• Verify compression levels (e.g
• 15-20 mmHg) and material composition via lab tests to confirm 'graduated compression' and exclusion of wool/cotton for 6115.10.15.40
• Include medical device documentation if marketed for varicose veins; FDA clearance may be required for health claims in the US
• Avoid misclassification as regular pantyhose (6115.95); declare exact fiber content on invoices to prevent penalties
