6505.00.15.40 - Other (359) 🖩

This HTS subheading, 6505.00.15.40, encompasses "Other" knitted headgear of cotton that does not fall into more specific subcategories. It serves as a residual category for knitted cotton caps, hats, and other head coverings that are not explicitly listed elsewhere within heading 6505. This includes items like knitted beanies, skullcaps, or other form-fitting headwear made entirely from knitted cotton fabric, provided they fully cover the crown of the head.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 6505.00.15.25, is crucial. The sibling category specifically covers visors and other headgear that intentionally provide no covering for the crown of the head. In contrast, 6505.00.15.40 is for knitted cotton headwear where the crown is designed to be covered. If an item provides partial or no crown coverage and is made from knitted cotton, it would likely be classified under the sibling.

As a leaf node, this subheading has no further subdivisions. Therefore, the focus for classification purposes rests on ensuring the item is indeed knitted cotton headgear and does not meet the criteria for any preceding, more specific subheadings within the 6505.00.15 range, particularly those that might define headwear by function or design that differentiates it from this general "other" classification.
