About heading 6504

Hats and other headgear, plaited or made by assembling strips of any material, whether or not lined or trimmed

Heading 6504 covers finished hats and other headgear that are plaited, or made by assembling strips of any material, whether or not lined or trimmed. It is split first by the strip material (vegetable fibers, unspun fibrous vegetable materials, paper yarn or combinations vs. other materials), then by whether the hat is sewed or not sewed, and within the residual group by man-made fibers vs. other. Lining and trimming do not change the classification.
