Last updated: August 2026 dataKnitting and crocheting methods, along with lace, felt, and other textile fabrics in the piece, define the construction distinctions that separate this heading from molded or assembled headgear categories. The range spans everyday beanies and berets to decorative lace caps and functional hairnets of any material — each with its own classification nuance depending on fabric composition and manufacturing technique. Importers should note that textile headgear and hairnets may be subject to textile quota monitoring and country-of-origin marking requirements under US Customs rules. Classification hinges on whether the fabric is used 'in the piece' rather than cut from strips, a distinction that frequently arises in CBP rulings.

CBP rulings consistently hold that headgear made from fabric cut into strips and then assembled — such as braided straw hats — falls outside this heading. The heading applies only when the textile fabric is used as a continuous piece (e.g., a knitted tube or a felt blank) that is then shaped into the headgear form.
Yes — the heading explicitly covers hairnets 'of any material,' so nylon, polyester, and natural-fiber hairnets all fall here regardless of fiber composition. However, the applicable duty rate may differ by material, so importers should confirm the specific tariff line with a licensed customs broker.
