RE: The tariff classification of hats from China.

Dear Ms. Emrick:

In your letter dated November 25, 2002, you requested a classification ruling. As requested, the sample will be returned to you

Your submitted sample, is an infant/newborn (size 0 – 24 months) knit hat made of 100% cotton knit polyester fabric. The unlined sun hat features a sweatband, a scalloped brim and a six-panel crown. The identical hat will also be imported in toddler and children’s sizes.

The applicable subheading for infant/newborn (size 0 – 24 months) hat will be 6505.90.1515, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for hats and other headgear, knitted or crocheted, or made up from lace, felt or other textile fabric, in the piece (but not in strips), whether or not lined or trimmed; hair-nets of any material, whether or not lined or trimmed: other: of cotton, flax or both: knitted: of cotton: for babies.

China is a member of the World Trade Organization (WTO), and the hats are not subject to quota or the requirements of a visa.
