About heading 6502
Hat shapes, plaited or made by assembling strips of any material, neither blocked to shape, nor with made brims, not lined, nor trimmed
Heading 6502 covers hat shapes, also called hat bodies or hoods, that are plaited or made by assembling strips of any material. To fall here the shape must be unblocked, without a made brim, and neither lined nor trimmed, so it is a semi-finished input for a hat maker rather than a wearable hat. The heading splits first by material: vegetable fibers, unspun vegetable material, paper yarn or combinations go in 6502.00.20 through 6502.00.60, and all other materials, including man-made fibers, go in 6502.00.90.
