Heading 6504 — Hats and other headgear; plaited or made by assembling strips of any material, whether or not lined or trimmed
Chapter 65: Headgear
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 650400 when importing or exporting hats and other headgear made by assembling strips of material. This includes items like straw hats and fabric caps, often used for fashion or sun protection.
This code specifically covers headgear that is plaited or constructed from strips, distinguishing it from other types of hats, such as those made from molded materials or solid fabrics. For instance, a wool felt hat would not fall under this classification.
If you're dealing with headgear that is lined or trimmed, such as a sun hat with a decorative ribbon, it still qualifies under this HS-6. However, be cautious with items that may fit better under different headings, like helmets or safety gear.
When classifying, consider the material and construction method. For example, a woven straw sun hat is classified here, while a baseball cap made from a solid fabric would not.
