6506.91.00.45 - Visors, or other headgear which provides no covering for the crown of the head

This HTS classification, 6506.91.00.45, specifically covers visors, and other headgear designed to provide protection or shade without covering the crown of the head. This includes items such as traditional visors worn for sports or sun protection, as well as other headwear that leaves the top of the head exposed. The defining characteristic is the absence of a crown covering, differentiating these items from caps, hats, and other more fully encompassing headwear.

Distinguishing this classification from its siblings, 6506.91.00.30 covers bathing caps, which are specifically designed for use in water and are typically made of waterproof materials like silicone or latex to keep hair dry. While both fall under the broader category of "Of rubber or plastics," the purpose and typical material applications diverge. The sibling category 6506.91.00.60 serves as a residual for other headgear of rubber or plastics not specifically classified elsewhere within the 6506.91.00.00 range, meaning this particular classification for visors and crownless headgear is intended to capture these specific items precisely.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories under 6506.91.00.45. Therefore, classification within this code relies on the precise definition of visors and other headgear that provide no covering for the crown of the head, and their construction from rubber or plastics. Importers should ensure that the headgear meets these descriptive and material criteria to accurately classify their goods.
