Headgear of Other Materials (Furskin & NESOI)

If the fur used in the headgear comes from a species listed under CITES Appendices I or II, import permits and export documentation from the country of origin are required. Common examples include certain wild felids and mustelids. Importers should identify the species and consult US Fish & Wildlife Service requirements before shipment.

This residual line captures headgear made from materials not covered by other headings in Chapter 65 — for example, leather caps, cork hats, or headgear combining multiple materials where no single component determines classification. The key is that the article must not qualify as felt, textile, rubber, plastic, or furskin headgear under a more specific provision.
