Crocheted Leg Warmers from Mexico

These leg warmers are crocheted from synthetic yarn made of man-made fibers like acrylic, designed to cover the lower leg for warmth during dance or casual wear. They classify under HTS 6406.90.1510 as parts of footwear or similar articles of textile materials of man-made fibers, specifically as other leg-warmers, since they are not outer soles or excluded trimmings. The predominant material is man-made fiber textile visible externally.

Include detailed invoices specifying 'leg-warmers of man-made textile' to avoid misclassification as apparel in Chapter 61
