Straw Boater Hat from China

A classic flat-crowned hat made by assembling strips of wheat straw, typically worn for summer formal events. It falls under HTS 6504.00.60.00 because it is plaited or assembled from vegetable fiber strips without sewing, using unspun fibrous materials like straw. The rigid brim and crown are formed by interlacing strips rather than stitched construction.

Import Tips

• Verify the hat is assembled from unspun vegetable fibers like straw or raffia without any sewing to confirm 6504.00.60.00 classification; provide assembly process photos if audited

• Include certificates of origin for vegetable materials to qualify for preferential tariffs under trade agreements like USMCA

• Avoid common pitfalls by ensuring no lining or trim involves sewing, as this shifts to other subheadings
