6504.00.30.00 - Sewed

This HTS category, 6504.00.30.00, specifically covers headgear that is plaited or assembled from strips of vegetable fibers, unspun fibrous vegetable materials, paper yarn, or any combination thereof, which are then **sewed** together. This includes a wide range of hats, caps, and other head coverings fashioned through sewing techniques. The "sewed" designation is crucial, differentiating these items from those constructed by other assembly methods.

The primary distinction for this subcategory lies in the method of construction. While its sibling category, 6504.00.60.00, covers headgear made from the same materials but assembled *without* sewing (e.g., through molding, felting, or interlocking), this classification is exclusively for articles where sewing is the operative assembly process. Therefore, the presence or absence of stitches as the primary means of joining the strips or materials is the determining factor for classification between these two sibling nodes.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions. The classification is complete at this level, focusing solely on the material composition (vegetable fibers, unspun vegetable materials, paper yarn) and the manufacturing method (sewed) of the headgear. Examples would include woven straw hats with stitched seams, paper yarn caps joined by sewing, or headbands made from assembled fabric strips of vegetable origin that are sewn together.
