How to read this code
6505.00 is the six-digit HS subheading for hats and other headgear. To clear customs your destination country extends it to a full 8–10 digit code and assigns the duty rate. India's preferential trade agreements (UAE CEPA, Australia ECTA, and others) can reduce or zero out that duty on many footwear, headgear & umbrellas lines — check our import guides for your market.
