HEAD-BANDS, LININGS, COVERS, HAT FOUNDATIONS, HAT FRAMES, PEAKS AND CHINSTRAPS, FOR HEADGEAR

Headbands, linings, frames, peaks, and chinstraps for headgear

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 6507 00 00 (headbands, linings, covers, hat foundations, hat frames, peaks, and chinstraps for headgear) 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 (IEC), bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Finished headgear articles classified elsewhere in Chapter 65 may carry separate compliance obligations depending on material composition and intended use.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

This tariff line covers only parts and components of headgear — not the finished article itself; misclassifying a complete hat or cap into 6507 00 00 when it properly belongs to another heading in Chapter 65 is the primary re-classification risk. Customs examination of finished headgear declared as parts may result in detention pending re-classification and retrospective duty recovery. Confirm that goods are genuinely unassembled components or sub-assemblies before relying on the absence of compliance at this tariff line.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 6507 00 00 require any pre-import registration?

A valid Importer-Exporter Code is required for any commercial import; no product-specific registration applies to this tariff line.

What changes if the goods are imported as finished headgear rather than as parts or components?

Finished headgear articles fall under separate headings within Chapter 65, which may attract distinct classification treatment and, depending on material, additional compliance review.
