U.S. imports of pantyhose & tights of synthetic fibers, under 67 decitex (HS 611521) totaled $3.6M in June 2026, traded with 48 countries.
Importers of Pantyhose & Tights of Synthetic Fibers, Under 67 Decitex paid $973K in duties in June 2026 — an effective duty rate of 30% on $3.3M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Fine-gauge pantyhose and tights knitted from synthetic fibers measuring less than 67 decitex per single yarn are split at the 10-digit level into tights (6115210010) and pantyhose (6115210020), a distinction that matters for both quota tracking and retail classification. China is the dominant supplier, with Canada and Italy also notable — Italy's presence reflecting its established hosiery industry's focus on fine-denier fashion legwear. The sub-67 decitex specification is a technical threshold that importers must verify through manufacturer yarn-count documentation, as misclassification against the coarser-yarn heading carries duty-rate consequences.

For HTS purposes, pantyhose are sheer or semi-sheer legwear designed primarily for women, typically of very fine denier, while tights are generally opaque or heavier-weight full-length hosiery. The distinction is reflected in the separate 10-digit lines 6115210010 (tights) and 6115210020 (pantyhose). Importers should ensure that product descriptions on commercial invoices align with the garment's actual construction and opacity to support the correct line selection.
Yarn fineness should be confirmed using the manufacturer's technical data sheet or an independent laboratory test measuring linear density in decitex. The decitex value refers to the single yarn before plying or twisting. If the yarn measures 67 decitex or more, the product classifies under a different heading (such as 6115.10 for graduated compression or other applicable lines), so accurate yarn-count documentation is essential before filing entry.
