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.

Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm man-made fibers exceed 70% for accurate classification under 6406.90.1510
• Include detailed invoices specifying 'leg-warmers of man-made textile' to avoid misclassification as apparel in Chapter 61
• Watch for common pitfalls like classifying as hosiery; provide wear instructions showing leg-only coverage
