6506.99.60.00 - Other

This HTS classification, 6506.99.60.00, encompasses "Other" headgear not specifically enumerated in preceding subheadings within Chapter 65. It serves as a residual category for headwear constructed from materials other than furskin, which is classified under sibling category 6506.99.30.00. The defining characteristic of this classification is that the headgear is not primarily composed of furskin and does not fall under any other more specific material-based classification within the "Other headgear, whether or not lined or trimmed" grouping.

Examples of headgear falling under this category include hats, caps, bonnets, and other head coverings made from a wide array of materials such as plastics, rubber, textiles (not specifically called out elsewhere), paper, or combinations of these. The key determinant for classification here is the absence of furskin as the primary material, and that the item is not otherwise classified under more specific material categories such as those for straw, felt, or knitted/crocheted materials if those were to exist at a more granular level.

Since 6506.99.60.00 is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under this subheading relies on a thorough review of the headgear's material composition and a confirmation that it does not meet the criteria for any more specific HTS classification for headgear. It is imperative to ensure that all other potential classifications within Chapter 65 have been considered and ruled out before assigning an item to this residual "Other" category.
