Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If constructed from felt of man-made fibers
Felt hats, even plaited, are directed to 6505; strip sewing alone doesn't override felt material.

Animal hair plaited hats use different subheading 6504.00.90.45 based on fiber type.
If trimmings constitute principal value and it's not primarily strip-based
Heavily trimmed hats may shift to 6507 if value is in ornamentation over basic strip assembly.
