Mens cap Hs Code

Mens cap harmonized system code

Product Overview Mens caps classified under HS Code 650500 are headwear primarily constructed from textile materials such as cotton, wool, polyester, or blended fabrics, designed for functional and aesthetic purposes. These caps typically feature structured or unstructured crowns, visors or brims, and adjustable fittings to accommodate various head sizes. The manufacturing process involves cutting, stitching, and finishing operations that ensure durability, shape retention, and comfort. Quality attributes include fabric weight ranging from 150 to 300 grams per square meter, reinforced seams, UV protection coatings, and moisture-wicking linings. The HS Code 650500 covers a broad range of headgear, including felt hats, wool caps, and other textile hats not specified elsewhere. Commercial applications span the food service sector—where caps serve hygiene and safety functions—to retail and promotional merchandise, as well as industrial environments requiring protective head coverings. Positioned competitively, these mens caps offer a balance of functional performance and cost efficiency, meeting stringent compliance requirements for international markets. HS Code Classification & Trade Specifications The mens cap falls under the HS Code 650500, which is structured as follows: Chapter 65 (Headgear and parts thereof), Heading 05 (Caps and other headgear, knitted or crocheted, or made up from lace, felt or other textile fabric), and Subheading 00 (Specific to caps and other headgear not elsewhere specified). Classification under 650500 is based on the product’s material composition and manufacturing method, differentiating it from leather headgear (Chapter 42) or plastic caps (Chapter 39). Typical trade considerations include packaging in bulk quantities of 50 to 100 units per carton, with moisture-resistant liners to prevent fabric degradation during transit. Preservation methods comply with international standards such as ISO 9001 for quality management and OEKO-TEX certification for textile safety. Shipping requirements mandate clear labeling for customs clearance, adherence to WTO valuation rules, and documentation that includes country of origin and fiber content declarations. These parameters ensure seamless import/export processing and conformity with global trade compliance frameworks.
