Knitted Flax Beret from Japan
A classic soft beret knitted from pure linen (flax) yarn, offering a lightweight and breathable option for fashion headwear. It qualifies for HTS 6505.00.15 as knitted headgear explicitly of flax, in the piece and fully assembled without sewn strip spirals. The natural fiber composition aligns perfectly with the subheading's scope.

Import Tips
• Source flax fiber origin certificates, as linen blends easily with cotton and require precise content disclosure
• Document absence of sewing beyond knit seams to avoid overlap with excluded hat shapes in heading 6502
• Use HTS advisory rulings for custom trims like feathers, which could trigger accessory reclassification
