6505.00.25.45 - Visors, and other headgear of cotton which provides no covering for the crown of the head (359)

This HTS category, 6505.00.25.45, specifically enumerates visors and other headgear made from cotton that are designed to provide no coverage for the crown of the head. The defining characteristic here is the absence of crown coverage, differentiating these items from more traditional hats. These articles are constructed from textile fabrics, and are not knitted or crocheted, but rather are made up from the piece.

The primary distinction from its sibling category, 6505.00.25.90 "Other," lies in the specific exclusion of items that do not cover the crown of the head. This implies that 6505.00.25.90 would encompass other types of non-knitted cotton headgear that *do* provide crown coverage, or other unknitted cotton headwear items not otherwise specified. The material being specifically cotton, or a blend of cotton and flax, is also a key classification criterion.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification under 6505.00.25.45 hinges directly on the physical attributes of the headgear: its construction from cotton (or cotton/flax blend), its formation from textile fabric in the piece (not knitted), and its explicit design to offer only a visor or brim without covering the crown of the head. This precise definition ensures consistent application for trade and customs purposes.
