6506.10.60 - Other

This category, HTS Code 6506.10.60, encompasses "Other" safety headgear that does not fall under the specifically enumerated subheadings. It serves as a residual category for protective headwear designed to safeguard the wearer's head from specific hazards, beyond those explicitly detailed elsewhere. The key criterion for inclusion here is the demonstrably protective function against risks such as impact, penetration, or other workplace-related dangers, as evidenced by design features and intended use.

While sibling category 6506.10.30 specifically addresses safety headgear constructed from reinforced or laminated plastics, this category covers safety headgear made from a broader range of materials. This could include, but is not limited to, headgear made of metals, textiles, or combinations of materials, provided they meet the requirements for safety headwear and are not otherwise classified. The distinction lies primarily in the material composition of the protective shell and structural components.

This category further subdivides to distinguish between specific types of safety headgear. Subcategory 6506.10.60.30 is designated for motorcycle helmets, which have a distinct design and protective purpose related to motorcycling activities. The remaining subcategories under 6506.10.60 are for other types of safety headgear not specifically identified as motorcycle helmets, allowing for granular classification of various protective headwear applications.
