Unfinished hat-shapes, plaited or assembled from strips
HSN 6502 00 90 (other hat-shapes, plaited or made by assembling strips of any material, neither blocked to shape, nor with made brims, nor lined, nor 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 lined or trimmed hat-forms elsewhere in Chapter 65 may carry distinct compliance obligations, making accurate classification the principal importer risk.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line applies specifically to unblocked, brimless, unlined, and untrimmed hat-shapes in their semi-finished state; finished headgear classified elsewhere in Chapter 65 operates under a different compliance profile. Customs re-examination of a consignment that presents as more finished than declared can trigger re-classification, with detention and retrospective duty recovery as consequences. Verify that the product matches the unfinished specification — no blocking, no made brim, no lining, no trimming — before relying on the absence of compliance here.
