6505.00.90.76 - Of unspun vegetable fibers

This HTS category, 6505.00.90.76, specifically classifies headgear made up from unspun vegetable fibers. This includes items such as hats, caps, and other head coverings where the primary textile component is derived from materials like raw flax, hemp, jute, or ramie, presented in a non-spun form. The classification hinges on the absence of spinning processes that would transform these fibers into yarn or thread before construction.

While sibling categories at this level also fall under "Other" classifications within knitted or crocheted headgear, this particular subcategory is distinguished by its specific material composition of unspun vegetable fibers. This means headgear made from spun vegetable fibers, or from other textile materials (even if of vegetable origin but processed differently), would be classified elsewhere. The intent is to isolate headwear where the raw, unspun nature of the vegetable fiber is the defining characteristic of its construction.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 6505.00.90.76 is final for eligible items, requiring careful examination of the material's state of processing to ensure accurate duty assessment and compliance.
