U.S. imports of socks & hosiery of other textile materials (nesoi) (HS 611599) totaled $1.7M in April 2026, traded with 50 countries.
Importers of Socks & Hosiery of Other Textile Materials (NESOI) paid $307K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 20% on $1.6M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataArtificial fibers (such as viscose/rayon), silk, and other residual textile materials not covered by cotton, wool, or synthetic headings fall here, making 611599 a classification catch-all for specialty and novelty hosiery constructions. The US schedule is the most granular in Chapter 61 hosiery, with seven 10-digit lines distinguishing artificial-fiber lace articles, silk-dominant goods (6115994000, containing 70% or more silk), and lower-silk-content blends (6115999000). China leads supply, with Vietnam and Turkey also significant. The variety of fiber types means importers must carefully document chief-weight fiber content to avoid misclassification across the multiple lines.

Line 6115994000 applies to socks and hosiery containing 70% or more by weight of silk or silk waste. Articles with silk content below that threshold but still classified within 611599 fall under 6115999000. Importers should obtain certified fiber-content test results from the manufacturer, as CBP may request laboratory analysis to verify silk percentage claims.
The HTS distinguishes synthetic fibers (such as nylon, polyester, and acrylic, which are polymer-based) from artificial fibers (such as viscose rayon, modal, and lyocell, which are cellulose-based). Hosiery made chiefly of artificial fibers is classified under 611599, while synthetic-fiber hosiery falls under 611596. Fiber-type identification on the commercial invoice and packing list is essential for correct classification.
