Last updated: July 2026 dataVietnam and Mexico lead US imports of this broad headgear heading, which encompasses knitted and crocheted hats across all fiber types, felt hats (including fur felt), headgear made from lace or other textile fabric in the piece, and hairnets of any material. The heading's thirty-plus 10-digit lines reflect an exceptionally detailed US tariff structure that separates fiber type (cotton, wool, man-made fibers, flax), construction method (knitted vs. not knitted, whole vs. part braid), wearer category (babies, men, women), and specific styles (visors and headgear without crown coverage). Bangladesh and Cambodia are also significant suppliers, particularly for knitted cotton and man-made fiber styles. Importers should note that hairnets — regardless of material — have their own dedicated line (6505000100) and are not classified with other headgear.

Several 10-digit lines under 6505 specifically carve out 'visors and other headgear without coverage for the crown of the head' — for example, 6505001525 (cotton, knitted), 6505003045 (wool, knitted), and 6505006045 (man-made fiber, knitted, not part braid). These lines exist because sun visors, sweatbands, and similar items that encircle the head without covering the top carry different duty rates than full hats. Misclassifying a visor as a full hat — or vice versa — is a common error that CBP identifies during textile audits.
The applicable 10-digit line depends on the chief weight fiber of the upper material. Importers should obtain a fiber composition certificate from the manufacturer showing the percentage by weight of each fiber in the hat's fabric. For hats near the threshold between, for example, cotton and man-made fiber lines, a laboratory test report may be required to substantiate the declaration. CBP can request such documentation during a CF-28 inquiry or during a focused assessment of textile importers.
