Import Tips
• Provide certificates confirming the hat's origin from 6501 felt bodies to distinguish from woven or knitted alternatives
• Ensure no sewing of strips in spirals, as that excludes from heading 6502 per chapter notes
• Test for flammability compliance (FF 5-74 standard) common for apparel headgear imports
