Overview

This HTS classification, 9902.14.63, specifically addresses knitted or fabricated headgear from cotton-based textiles, lace, or felt. Crucially, these items must contain less than 23 percent wool by weight. The category excludes headwear intended for babies, as well as visors and any other headgear that does not cover the crown of the head. These exclusions are further detailed under subheading 6505.00.15, providing a clear demarcation for items that might otherwise appear similar.

As this node is a leaf node within Chapter 99, it does not have further subcategories. Therefore, understanding the specific parameters outlined in its description is paramount for accurate classification. This includes meticulous verification of the material composition, specifically the percentage of wool, and confirming that the headgear provides full crown coverage, differentiating it from items solely designed as brims or visors. The "99" series of the HTS is dedicated to temporary legislation and modifications, implying that classifications within this chapter are subject to change and specific trade agreement considerations.
