Wool Blend Knitted Beret from Mexico
A classic French-style beret knitted from a blend of 25% wool, 70% acrylic, and 5% elastane man-made fibers. It falls under HTS 6505.00.60.40 because it is knitted or crocheted from man-made fiber fabric containing 23% or more wool by weight, not in part of braid, and not excluded by chapter notes. The soft, slouchy design is ideal for casual wear.

Import Tips
• Verify exact fiber content via lab testing to confirm ≥23% wool or fine animal hair, as blends under this threshold shift to 6505.00.60.30
• Provide detailed fabric construction specs (knitted/crocheted) and exclude any braid elements to avoid reclassification
• Label products with country of origin and fiber composition per FTC rules to prevent CBP holds
