6505.00.40.90 - Other (459) 🖩

This HTS subheading, 6505.00.40.90, encompasses headgear classified under Chapter 65 that is knitted, crocheted, or made from textile fabric, felt, or lace. Specifically, it covers headwear that does not fit into more specific subcategories within the "Other" classifications for knitted or crocheted headgear, and is not a visor or other headgear designed to leave the crown of the head uncovered. This category captures a broad range of finished headwear items, including hats and caps made from various textile materials, as well as items assembled from fabric pieces.

This subheading serves as a residual category for knitted or crocheted headgear made of wool that do not qualify for the more specific sibling category 6505.00.40.45, which is dedicated to visors and headgear that leave the crown exposed. The distinction lies in the intended coverage of the head; if the headgear provides coverage for the crown of the head, it will likely fall under 6505.00.40.90, whereas those explicitly designed without crown coverage are classified separately.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 6505.00.40.90. Therefore, classification within this subheading hinges on careful examination of the headgear's construction, material (specifically if it is of wool), and its design in relation to the exclusionary criteria of its sibling category. Importers and exporters should ensure that their wool headgear is not a visor or other crown-uncovering item before assigning it to this residual classification.
