HS Code 6507Head-bands, linings, covers, hat foundations, hat frames, peaks and chinstraps, for headgear

What HS code 6507 covers

Think of a hat as a finished product with several pieces inside or on it. Heading 6507 is for those pieces when they are traded on their own. It sits in Chapter 65, headgear and parts thereof, which is part of Section XII.

Traders also call these items headgear parts, or headgear components and accessories. In India you may see the label HSN code 6507. In the United States the same number appears as HTS code 6507. The first six digits are the same everywhere the Harmonized System is used.

• Head-bands: bands that sit around the head or inside the crown.
• Linings: the inner layer of a hat or cap.
• Covers: fabric or material shells that go over a hat.
• Hat foundations: the base shape that a hat is built on.
• Hat frames: the rigid skeleton that holds the shape.
• Peaks (visors): the front brim part of a cap.
• Chinstraps: straps that hold headgear on the head.

HS code 650700 and how national tariffs add digits

The World Customs Organization stops at the six-digit level for this heading. Every member country uses 650700 for these goods. That makes it the safe common code when you talk to a buyer or supplier abroad.

Each country can then add its own digits to build a national tariff line. India, China and Argentina each do this in their own way. So a customs form in one country may show a longer number than a form in another. The first six digits still point to the same goods.

Always check the national tariff of the country you ship to before you file.

6507 vs other Chapter 65 headings

The simplest rule is this. Heading 6507 is for parts and accessories. Here is how they split.

• 6502: hat-shapes made from plaited strips or assembled strips, not yet blocked or lined.
• 6504: hats and headgear made from plaited or assembled strips, lined or trimmed or not.
• 6505: knitted, crocheted or made-up hats from lace, felt or other textile fabric, plus hair-nets.
• 6506: headgear not covered elsewhere in the chapter, lined or trimmed or not.

How to pick the right code for headgear parts

Ask a few plain questions about your product. Each answer moves you toward the right heading.

First, is it a whole hat or cap that someone can wear? If yes, look at 6504, 6505 or 6506. Second, is it a hat body or shape that is not yet finished? Then look at 6501 or 6502. Third, is it a separate piece such as a lining, a frame, a visor or a chinstrap? Then 6507 is the likely home.

If you are still unsure, run the item through the HS code classifier. Then confirm the result against your country's tariff before you ship.
