Of wool
Unfinished hat-shapes of wool, plaited or strip-assembled
HSN 6502 00 20 (hat-shapes of wool, plaited or made by assembling strips, neither blocked to shape nor with made brims, lined, or trimmed) is not covered by a Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Order and carries no Partner Government Agency clearance requirement at the tariff-line level. Import follows the standard customs procedure: Importer-Exporter Code, bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Finished headgear and hat-bodies in other materials classified elsewhere in Chapter 65 may carry distinct treatment; classification turns on the material, construction method, and degree of finishing.
The principal risk at this tariff line is misclassification: hat-shapes that have been blocked, fitted with brims, lined, or trimmed are finished goods classifiable under different headings in Chapter 65, and customs re-examination of the degree of finishing can trigger reclassification with retrospective duty recovery and detention pending resolution. Importers should document the unfinished state of the goods — absence of blocking, brims, lining, and trimming — with photographs and a manufacturer's specification sheet to support the declared classification.
