This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If trimmed, lined, or with made brims
Addition of trims or linings moves it to other subheadings within 6502, as these shapes exceed the 'neither blocked nor trimmed' criteria.
If sold as bulk plaiting material rather than assembled hat shapes
Unassembled plaited vegetable fiber articles are classified under Chapter 46 for basketwork, not hat-specific shapes in 6502.
If blocked to shape or with brims added
Once shaped or brimmed, they become felt or other hats under 6504, no longer raw shapes.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify fiber origin with supplier certificates to confirm vegetable fiber content for Chapter 65 classification
• Ensure no sewing or blocking has occurred, as sewn shapes fall outside heading 6502 per chapter notes
• Label as 'bleached' with color documentation to avoid misclassification under unbleached subheadings
