6505.00.80.45 - For babies (239) 🖩

This HTS category, 6505.00.80.45, specifically classifies headwear for babies that is knitted or crocheted, or made up from other textile materials. It falls under the broader classification of "Other" headgear made of man-made fibers, not in part of braid. The key defining characteristic here is the intended recipient: infants and very young children. This designation is crucial for customs purposes, as specific import regulations or duty rates may apply to articles designed for this age group.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, it is important to note that while it shares the broader textile material and construction types of other "Other" classifications within 6505, the specific "For babies" designation sets it apart. Other sibling categories at this level would encompass similar headwear but intended for older children or adults, or those made from different materials or construction methods not covered by the "Other" designation. The "For babies" qualifier directs classification based on the product's primary intended use and target demographic.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification ends at this specific level, meaning that any headwear meeting the criteria of being knitted or crocheted, or made from other textile fabrics (but not braid), of man-made fibers, and specifically designed for babies, will be classified under 6505.00.80.45. Examples include baby beanies, infant caps, and soft baby hats constructed from synthetic yarns.
