6505.00.80.90 - Other (659)

This HTS category, 6505.00.80.90, encompasses headgear that is not specifically described in preceding subcategories. It falls under the broader classification of knitted or crocheted headgear, or headgear made from lace, felt, or other textile fabrics. The defining characteristic of items within this category is their residual nature, meaning they are classified here when they do not fit into more granular descriptions within Chapter 65. Examples can include various styles of hats and other head coverings that are not designed as visors or other headgear that provides no covering for the crown of the head.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling category, 6505.00.80.50, which specifically covers visors and other headgear that offer no protection for the crown of the head. Therefore, items classified under 6505.00.80.90 must provide some form of covering for the crown, differentiating them from the more open designs of visors. The material composition of items within this residual category is also typically of man-made fibers, as indicated by the preceding levels of the tariff schedule.

As a leaf node in the HTS database, 6505.00.80.90 has no further subcategories. Classification decisions for goods falling into this residual "Other" category depend on a thorough review of the preceding subheadings and the specific physical characteristics, construction, and intended use of the headgear to ensure it is not otherwise classified.
