Rayon Knee-High Stockings from Germany
These knee-high stockings are made from artificial rayon fibers, knitted for a smooth, sheer finish suitable for everyday wear. They fall under HTS 6115.99.19 as hosiery of artificial fibers, other than pantyhose, tights, or socks. The open-toe design and elastic top ensure they stay in place without being full-length stockings.

Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm artificial fibers exceed 70% for accurate classification under 6115
• Include detailed invoices specifying 'knee-high hosiery' to avoid misclassification as socks or full stockings
• Watch for blending with synthetic fibers; if over 50% synthetics, it may shift to 6115.96
