Acrylic Straw-Look Fedora from Germany
This fedora-style hat is made by sewing together strips of acrylic man-made fibers to imitate straw texture, with a structured crown. It qualifies for HTS 6504.00.90.15 as other sewn headgear from assembled man-made fiber strips. Not a hat shape under 6502 due to sewn spiral construction.

Import Tips
