About heading 6501
Hat forms, hat bodies and hoods of felt, neither blocked to shape nor with made brims; plateaux and manchons (including slit manchons), of felt
Heading 6501 covers felt hat forms, hat bodies and hoods that are not yet blocked to shape and have no made brims, plus felt plateaux and manchons, including slit manchons. These are the unfinished felt shapes a hat maker starts from, not finished hats. The heading splits first by material, with fur felt lines separated from all other felt, and the fur felt lines further split by whether the body is for men or boys or for other wearers.
