Last updated: April 2026 dataHeadgear components — including hat foundations, frames, peaks (visors), linings, headbands, and chinstraps — are consolidated under a single 10-digit line (6507000000), making this a straightforward classification for importers of hat-making inputs. China is the dominant supplier, with Mexico and Taiwan as secondary sources; Mexico's proximity supports just-in-time supply chains for US hat manufacturers. Importers should note that finished headgear incorporating these components is classified elsewhere in Chapter 65, so the heading applies only to components traded separately.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
No. Components that are imported as part of an incomplete or unfinished headgear article are generally classified with the finished headgear under the appropriate heading in Chapter 65. Heading 6507 applies to components traded separately as inputs for hat manufacturing, not to components already incorporated into an article.
Yes. Headgear components of Chinese origin classified under HTS 6507000000 are subject to Section 301 tariffs. Importers sourcing from Mexico may benefit from USMCA treatment if the goods meet applicable rules of origin, making origin verification a meaningful cost consideration.
