6501.00.60.00 - Other

This HTS subheading, 6501.00.60.00, classifies "Other" hat forms, hat bodies, and hoods of fur felt that are neither blocked to shape nor have made brims, as well as plateaux and manchons (including slit manchons) of fur felt. These items are essentially the foundational, unshaped or partially processed components used in the manufacture of fur felt hats and headwear. They represent materials that have undergone felting processes but have not yet reached their final form or feature for a finished hat.

This category is distinct from its sibling, 6501.00.30.00 ("For men or boys"), which specifically designates hat forms and bodies intended for the production of headwear for male wearers. Subheading 6501.00.60.00, by contrast, encompasses all such fur felt components that are not designated for a specific gender or age group, or where such designation is not determinable from the product itself. This includes a broader range of unshaped or semi-processed fur felt materials.

As this subheading is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, the classification of goods under 6501.00.60.00 relies on identifying that the article is a hat form, hat body, hood, plateau, or manchon made of fur felt, and that it has not been blocked to shape or does not possess a made brim. The absence of these specific finishing characteristics is key to its inclusion here.
