6505.00.70.90 - Other (659)

This category, HTS 6505.00.70.90, encompasses "Other" headgear within the broader classification of knitted or crocheted headwear, or headwear made from lace, felt, or other textile fabric. It specifically covers items that do not fall under more defined subcategories within the "Of man-made fibers" and "Other" branches of Chapter 65. This includes a wide array of textile headwear that is not specifically described elsewhere at this level of detail, provided they are not made up from strips or are hair-nets.

It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, HTS 6505.00.70.45, which covers visors and other headgear that specifically do not provide any covering for the crown of the head. Therefore, items classified under 6505.00.70.90 will typically offer some degree of crown coverage, even if they are otherwise unusual in design or purpose. The classification hinges on the absence of specific descriptive qualifiers found in other subheadings at this level.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification within this residual category signifies that the headwear is of man-made fibers, made up from textile fabric (not in strips), and does not fit into more narrowly defined descriptions. Practical classification will rely on a thorough assessment of the headwear's construction, material composition, and intended use, ensuring it meets all the preceding criteria of the broader heading and subheading.
