6502.00.90.60 - Other

This HTS classification, 6502.00.90.60, covers hat shapes that are plaited or assembled from strips of any material. Crucially, these hat shapes have not yet undergone the blocking process to give them a definitive form, nor do they possess a finished brim. Furthermore, they are not lined or trimmed, indicating they are in an intermediate stage of production.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 6502.00.90.30 (Of man-made fibers), is the material composition. While the sibling specifically addresses hat shapes made from man-made fibers, this "Other" category encompasses all other suitable materials not specifically enumerated in the sibling. This includes, but is not limited to, natural fibers like straw, raffia, cotton, or animal hair, as well as other synthetic or composite materials.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification within this code hinges on the absence of blocking, made brims, lining, or trimming, and the specific material not being exclusively man-made fibers. Examples of goods that would fall here include unblocked straw braid for hats, unshaped woven raffia bases, or assembled fabric strips intended for millinery but not yet formed into a wearable item.
