No. The heading explicitly covers plaited headgear 'of any material,' so straw, palm leaf, raffia, paper, plastic ribbon, and synthetic strips all qualify provided the construction method is plaiting or strip assembly. The material distinction matters for country-of-origin fiber content labeling under FTC rules, but not for tariff heading classification.

Headgear made by knitting, crocheting, weaving on a loom, or molding/blocking from felt or other materials is classified under separate headgear headings. The plaiting or strip-assembly construction is the defining criterion here — a hat that appears similar but is machine-knitted from straw-effect yarn, for example, would fall under the knitted headgear provision rather than this one.
