Overview
This HTS subheading, 6506.91.00.30, specifically classifies bathing caps. These are head coverings designed for use during aquatic activities, such as swimming, to keep hair dry and prevent it from entering the water. Key characteristics typically include being made from flexible, waterproof materials like rubber or plastics, and fitting snugly around the head with an opening for the face.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial. While 6506.91.00.45 covers visors and other headgear offering no crown coverage, and 6506.91.00.60 acts as a residual category for other unlined or untrimmed headgear of rubber or plastics, 6506.91.00.30 is solely dedicated to the distinct function and design of bathing caps. The primary differentiator is the specific purpose of water protection and hair containment associated with bathing caps.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories under 6506.91.00.30. Therefore, classification at this level depends on the accurate identification of the article as a bathing cap, characterized by its material (rubber or plastics), construction, and intended use in aquatic environments.
