Wool Beret Knitted from China
A classic French-style beret fully knitted from 100% wool yarn, featuring a soft, slouchy fit ideal for casual wear. It falls under HTS 6505.00.30 because it is knitted headgear made of wool, explicitly covered by the heading for knitted or crocheted wool hats not in strips. The absence of sewing beyond basic construction keeps it distinct from sewn hat shapes.

Import Tips
• Verify wool fiber content exceeds 50% with lab tests or supplier certificates to confirm classification under wool subheading
• Include detailed yarn construction specs (knitted gauge, stitch type) in entry docs to distinguish from woven or felted alternatives
• Avoid misdeclaration as 'hat shapes' by providing photos showing fully formed, wearable headgear
