9902.14.62 - Hats and other headgear, knitted, or made up in the piece from lace, felt or other textile fabric (but not in strips), of cotton and containing 23 percent or more by weight of wool, the foregoing other than for babies and other than visors, or other headgear which provides no covering for the crown of the head (provided for in subheading 6505.00.15)

This HTS classification, 9902.14.62, applies to specific types of knitted headgear or headwear made from textile fabric, lace, or felt, but not in strips. The critical defining characteristic is the material composition: these items must be made of cotton and contain 23 percent or more by weight of wool. Furthermore, this classification excludes headwear intended for babies and also excludes visors or any headgear that does not cover the crown of the head.

The scope of this temporary legislation heading, within Chapter 99, is to provide specific tariff treatment or restrictions for certain goods. While the primary HTS structure categorizes goods by their inherent nature (e.g., Section XI for textiles and textile articles), Chapter 99 headings are often used to implement special provisions, such as those related to trade agreements or agricultural adjustments as outlined in the parent context. Therefore, the goods classified here are not being distinguished from other "hats and other headgear" based on fundamental material or function, but rather due to specific legislative or policy actions.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification into 9902.14.62 is definitive once the conditions regarding material (cotton with >=23% wool), construction (knitted or made up from fabric/lace/felt, not strips), and exclusions (baby items, visors, crownless headgear) are met. This classification should be considered in conjunction with the underlying classification for the headwear itself, as indicated by the reference to subheading 6505.00.15.
