HS Code 6507.00 – Head-bands, linings, covers, hat foundations, hat frames, peaks and chinstraps; for headgear

HS code 6507.00 is the 6-digit subheading for head-bands, linings, covers, hat foundations, hat frames, peaks and chinstraps, for headgear. It is used for hat sweatbands (leather/fabric), plastic brim inserts, felt hat bodies (unformed), hat stiffeners and fabric hat linings.

What HS 6507.00 covers

This HS code is crucial for the global headwear manufacturing supply chain, covering essential components rather than finished hats. It includes items like head-bands, linings, covers, hat foundations, hat frames, peaks, and chinstraps, which are traded between specialized component manufacturers and hat producers worldwide. Importers are typically hat factories, small-scale artisans, and textile accessory distributors who require these parts to assemble or finish various types of headgear. Exporters are often textile mills, plastic component manufacturers, or specialized workshops in regions known for their textile and accessory production capabilities. Understanding this code is vital for businesses involved in the upstream segment of the headwear industry, focusing on the raw materials and semi-finished goods that enable the creation of diverse hats and caps. Quality, material specifications, and compliance with manufacturing standards are key trade considerations.

How these figures are built

109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
