Last updated: April 2026 dataCotton construction makes this the broadest-volume hosiery category by unit count in US imports, serving mass-market apparel, athletic, and workwear channels. Pakistan leads US supply — a reflection of that country's deep integration in cotton yarn and knit fabric production — with China and Honduras also significant sources. The US schedule distinguishes lace-containing cotton hosiery (6115956000) from other cotton hosiery (6115959000), a fiber-trim detail that affects classification. Importers sourcing from Honduras may benefit from preferential duty treatment under CAFTA-DR, subject to applicable rules of origin.

Line 6115956000 applies specifically to socks and other hosiery of cotton that contain lace as a component, while 6115959000 covers other cotton hosiery not elsewhere specified. The presence of lace trim or lace fabric in the article is the determining factor. Importers should confirm with suppliers whether any lace content is present, as misclassification between these lines can affect duty liability.
Pakistan's prominence reflects its vertically integrated cotton textile industry, with strong capacity in yarn spinning, knitting, and finishing that enables competitive pricing on high-volume commodity sock programs. This concentration creates supply-chain risk for US importers; diversification into Vietnam, Honduras, or Cambodia is a common mitigation strategy, though each alternative carries its own rules-of-origin and lead-time considerations.
