6505.00.04 - Of fur felt

This HTS category, 6505.00.04, specifically covers headgear and other articles of headwear that are constructed from fur felt. This designation applies to items fashioned from fur felt hat bodies, hoods, or plateaux that fall under heading 6501. The classification is based on the material composition and the manufacturing method, emphasizing the use of fur felt as the primary constituent. These articles may be lined or trimmed.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 6505.00.08 (Other), is crucial. While 6505.00.08 encompasses all other types of headgear under 6505.00 that are not specifically identified by material or construction in preceding subheadings, 6505.00.04 is narrowly focused on fur felt. This means that headgear made from other materials like wool felt, textile fabrics, or knitted/crocheted materials, would generally fall under the "Other" sibling category unless they meet the specific criteria for fur felt.

The subcategories under 6505.00.04 further refine the classification based on the intended wearer. 6505.00.04.10 is designated for headgear intended for men or boys, while 6505.00.04.50 covers all other headgear within this fur felt classification that are not specifically for men or boys, encompassing items for women and girls, as well as unisex designs. This division allows for more precise statistical tracking and application of relevant trade policies.
