6505.00.70.45 - Visors, and other headgear which provides no covering for the crown of the head (659)

This HTS classification, 6505.00.70.45, specifically designates visors and other headgear designed to provide no coverage for the crown of the head. These items are constructed from man-made fibers and are either wholly or in part made from braid. The defining characteristic is the absence of a crown-covering element, distinguishing them from traditional hats.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 6505.00.70.90, which covers "Other" headgear within the broader classification of man-made fiber articles of braid. While both fall under headgear made from braided man-made fibers, 6505.00.70.45 is for items *specifically* lacking crown coverage, such as visors, whereas the sibling category would encompass other braided man-made fiber headwear that does include crown coverage.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Therefore, to accurately classify an item under 6505.00.70.45, it must meet the explicit criteria of being a visor or similar headwear with no crown coverage, and be made from man-made fibers, with at least a partial construction of braid. Examples include sports visors, sweatbands with attached brims, and any other head accessory designed solely to shade the eyes or forehead without covering the top of the head.
