Sourcing this category from India

HS 6506.91 covers Headgear; (other than safety headgear), of rubber or plastics, whether or not lined or trimmed. It is a leaf classification, so it sets the duty line directly for goods that fall under it. India exports hats, caps and headwear, including handcrafted and embroidered pieces tied to its craft clusters. India exported $764K under this code worldwide in 2024, about 0.8% of all Chapter 65 exports, ranking #3 of 3 lines in its heading (UN Comtrade).

How to read this code

6506.91 is the six-digit HS subheading for 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.
