6505.00.90.89 - Other (859)

This HTS classification, 6505.00.90.89, represents a residual category for headgear that is knitted or crocheted, or made up from lace, felt, or other textile fabric in the piece. It encompasses items not specifically enumerated in other subheadings within 6505.00.90. This includes a broad range of headwear where the primary construction is from these textile materials and they do not fit into more defined classifications.

This "Other" category is distinguished from its sibling, 6505.00.90.76, by the material used. While 6505.00.90.76 specifically covers headgear made of unspun vegetable fibers, 6505.00.90.89 applies to headwear made from a wider array of textile materials, including spun vegetable fibers, synthetic fibers, and animal fibers, as long as they meet the general criteria of being knitted, crocheted, or constructed from fabric in the piece. The key differentiator lies in the processing of the fibrous material.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 6505.00.90.89 hinges on ensuring the headwear is correctly identified as knitted or crocheted, or made from fabric, and that it does not qualify for any more specific enumeration within Chapter 65. Examples of items that might fall here include certain fashion hats, headbands, or other textile head coverings not specifically listed elsewhere, provided they meet the broader material and construction requirements of heading 6505.
