6505.00.70 - Wholly or in part of braid

This HTS category, 6505.00.70, specifically covers headgear and parts thereof that are made up wholly or in part from braid. This includes items such as hats, caps, and other head coverings where braid is a significant component in their construction. The braid itself can be made from any textile material, including natural fibers, man-made fibers, or even blends. The key distinguishing factor is the presence and integral nature of braided material in the final product.

This category is distinct from its sibling, 6505.00.80, which covers headgear not made in part of braid. Therefore, if the headgear is constructed from knitted or crocheted fabric, felt, or other textile material that is *not* braided, it would fall under the sibling category.

Within this classification, we find further subdivisions that refine the scope of coverage. The subcategory 6505.00.70.30 is dedicated to headgear made from braid that is specifically designed for babies. The remaining items, falling under the "Other" subcategory, encompass all other headgear made in part of braid that are not specifically for babies, thereby covering a broad range of adult and general-use items.
