Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 650200 when importing or exporting unblocked hat-shapes made from strips of any material. This includes items like straw or textile strips that have not been shaped into a specific form. For example, shipments of raw straw hats that are not yet finished would fall under this code.
This code is distinct from HS-6 650201, which covers blocked hat-shapes. If your product has been shaped or styled into a specific design, you would need to classify it differently. Understanding the difference is crucial for compliance and accurate tariff application.
The HS-6 650200 line specifically addresses items that are not lined, trimmed, or made with brims, focusing on the raw form of hat-shapes. This means that if your product is simply assembled from strips without any additional features, it belongs here.
When considering classification, remember that similar products like HS-6 650201 include finished hats that have been shaped. If your product is simply a collection of strips ready for further processing, HS-6 650200 is the right choice.
