Cotton Neck Gaiter from Japan

Versatile knitted cotton tube scarf/gaiter worn around the neck or as headwear for warmth or sun protection. It qualifies for HTS 6114.20.00 as other knitted cotton garments, not covered by shawls (6117) or headgear due to its multi-use apparel nature.

Import Tips

Document multifunction use (neck/scarf) but emphasize garment status to stay in 6114, avoiding swimwear exclusions

Ensure no metal thread if claiming cotton purity, as chapter allows but affects fiber content declarations

Avoid describing as 'hat' to prevent HTS Chapter 65 reclassification
