|---|---|

What heading 6505 covers
Think of this heading as the home for finished cloth hats. The cloth may be knitted, crocheted, lace, felt or another textile. It must not be built from strips.
A lining or a trim does not move a hat out of this heading. Hair-nets also belong here, and the material they are made from does not matter. A woolly knitted cap and a lace hair-net are both examples.
The heading sits in the WCO Harmonized System, the shared language customs offices use for customs classification. You may see the same goods called HS 650500 or the HSN code 6505. These are different names for one group of goods.
Each country can add extra digits for its own tariff, so check your national code before you file. Duty and tax rates are also set by each country, so this page lists none. If you are unsure, try the HS code classifier.
Is 6505 the right code? How it differs from nearby headings
Ask three questions. How is the headgear made? Is it finished? Is it a whole hat or only a part? The answers point to one heading.
The main split between 6504 and 6505 is construction. A hat that is plaited, or built by joining strips, goes to 6504. A hat cut or knitted from one piece of cloth goes to 6505. Two hats can look alike and still sit in different headings.
Use this short guide for the other headings in the chapter.
- 6501: felt hat-forms, hat bodies and hoods that are not yet shaped and have no made brim.
- 6506: headgear that no other heading in the chapter names.
- 6507: head-bands, linings, covers, frames, peaks and chinstraps sold as parts.
HS code 6505 import export data
Buyers of these goods are often hat shops, brand owners and wholesalers. Suppliers are the factories and traders that ship them. Their names show up in customs filings, not on the product.
Start from the code, not from a company name. Open the import data and export data pages to look at shipment records for headgear. The buyer data and supplier data pages show the parties behind those records.
If you sell hats, this shows you who already buys them. If you buy hats, it shows you who already ships them. You can then compare partners before you make contact.

HS Code 6505: common questions
What is HS code 650500?
It is the one six-digit line under this heading, and it carries the same wording. Use it when your goods fit the heading, then add any extra national digits your country requires.
What is the difference between HS 6504 and 6505?
It comes down to how the hat is made.
What is the HS code for knitted hats and hair-nets?
Both go to 6505. Knitted hats fit when they are made up in the piece, and hair-nets fit whatever they are made of.
Which HS code covers parts of hats such as linings or peaks?
Look at 6507. Parts like these are named there, not in 6505.
Where do unfinished felt hat shapes go?
Felt hat-forms and hat bodies that are not yet blocked to shape go to 6501. Plaited hat-shapes in the same raw state go to 6502.
