Last updated: April 2026 dataRubber and plastic headgear outside the safety-helmet category — most visibly bathing caps — is classified here, with the US schedule separating bathing caps (6506910030) from other rubber-and-plastic headgear excluding bathing caps (6506910045 and 6506910060). China dominates supply, with Vietnam and Burma as secondary sources; goods of Chinese origin carry Section 301 exposure, while Burma-origin goods may face additional scrutiny under US import restrictions tied to that country's trade status. The material distinction between rubber and plastics is straightforward for most articles, but composite constructions (e.g., a fabric-covered plastic shell) may require reclassification outside this heading.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
A bathing cap is specifically designed for aquatic use to protect hair during swimming or bathing. Other rubber or plastic headgear not meeting that functional definition — such as novelty caps or protective covers — falls into the residual 'other' lines. When an article serves multiple purposes, the primary intended use at the time of importation typically governs classification.
US importers should monitor the current status of trade restrictions and sanctions applicable to Burma (Myanmar). Depending on the period of importation, goods of Burmese origin may be subject to import prohibitions or heightened scrutiny. Consulting a licensed customs broker and reviewing OFAC guidance before importing is strongly recommended.
