6505.00.20 - Certified hand-loomed and folklore products; and headwear of cotton

This HTS category, 6505.00.20, specifically covers headwear that is not knitted or crocheted, but is made up from textile fabrics such as cotton or flax, and is not in strips. This includes items like hats, caps, and berets constructed from woven or non-woven textile materials. The "Certified hand-loomed and folklore products" aspect indicates a unique origin or crafting method for certain items within this sub-classification, provided they meet the defined criteria.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 6505.00.25 "Other," is crucial for accurate classification. While both fall under the broader umbrella of "Other" headwear not knitted or crocheted, 6505.00.20 specifically zeroes in on headwear constructed from cotton, flax, or a combination thereof. The sibling category would encompass headwear made from other textile materials not explicitly listed here.

Within this classification, further sub-divisions exist to refine the scope. The subcategories, 6505.00.20.30 for babies and 6505.00.20.60 for "Other," allow for more granular reporting based on the intended wearer. This distinction is important for statistical purposes and potential regulatory differences that might apply to infant headwear versus general adult headwear falling under this cotton or flax textile fabric construction.
