6505.00.15 - Knitted

This HTS category, 6505.00.15, specifically covers knitted headgear and articles made from knitted textile fabrics. This includes a wide array of items such as knitted hats, caps, beanies, and headbands designed for wear on the head. The key defining characteristic for inclusion in this subcategory is the construction method: the item must be knitted.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, "Not knitted" (which would fall under a different HTS code within 6505.00), by the presence of knitting as the primary method of fabric construction. Items manufactured using other textile techniques like weaving, crocheting, or felting would not be classified here. Therefore, the tactile and structural properties inherent to knitted goods are central to this classification.

Within this category, further subdivisions exist to refine the classification based on material composition. The subcategory "Of cotton" will detail items made predominantly from cotton, while other potential subcategories (not explicitly listed here but implied by broader HTS structures) would capture headgear made from other textile fibers, offering a more granular approach to import and export duties.
