Last updated: April 2026 dataRather than finished headgear, this heading covers the structural and finishing components that go into hat manufacturing — including hat foundations, frames, peaks (visors), headbands, linings, and chinstraps. These articles are primarily traded as inputs to the millinery and headgear manufacturing industries, making them relevant to both finished-goods importers and component-level sourcing operations. Classification as a component rather than a finished article is critical: an assembled hat with a visor is a finished headgear article, while a separately imported visor blank or hat frame falls here. Importers sourcing hat frames or pre-formed foundations should verify that the article has not been advanced to the point where it constitutes a finished headgear article under CBP interpretation.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
CBP generally treats an article as a hat foundation or frame — classifiable here — when it lacks the outer covering or finishing that would make it immediately recognizable and usable as a hat. Once a foundation is covered with fabric and shaped to its final form, it typically advances to classification as finished headgear. The degree of completion at the time of importation is the controlling factor.
Headbands and sweatbands imported as replacement parts or accessories for headgear are generally classifiable here, as the heading explicitly names headbands for headgear. However, headbands worn as standalone hair accessories — not intended for use with a hat — may classify elsewhere, so the intended end-use should be documented at entry.
