Detailed information for HTS Code 6505.00.15
This section of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers knitted or crocheted headgear, including hats and hairnets, made of cotton, flax, or both. The code 6505.00.15 specifically applies to these items when they are made in one piece, not strips, and can be lined or trimmed.
