6501.00.30.00 - For men or boys

This HTS category, 6501.00.30.00, specifically covers hat forms, hat bodies, and hoods made of fur felt that are designed for men or boys. These are typically unfinished or partially processed items intended for further shaping or the addition of brims to create finished headwear. The defining characteristic of this classification is the material composition – fur felt – and the intended end-user, men or boys. This means that items like basic hat shapes, felt cones, or pre-formed crown sections made from fur felt fall under this designation, provided they are not yet blocked to a final shape or possess a made brim.

The distinction between this category and its sibling, 6501.00.60.00 (Other), lies in the specific demographic for whom the fur felt hat forms are intended. While 6501.00.30.00 is exclusively for men or boys, the "Other" category would encompass fur felt hat forms, bodies, or hoods not specifically designated for men or boys, potentially including those for women, children, or generic unisex forms where a specific gender attribution is not made or applicable.

As this classification represents a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification here is on accurately identifying the material (fur felt) and the intended end-user (men or boys) for the hat forms, bodies, and hoods to ensure correct entry.
