Classification of visor peaks under HS 6507.00
Visor peaks are classified under HS code 6507.00, which is a specific heading for parts of headgear. This classification follows the principles of the Harmonized System where parts are categorized with the finished goods or in specific "parts" headings. Heading 6507 covers head-bands, linings, covers, hat foundations, hat frames, peaks, and chinstraps. A visor peak is a structural component designed to be attached to a cap or helmet to provide shade or protection for the eyes. Because it is an identifiable part of headgear and is specifically named in the text of heading 6507, it cannot be classified under the headings for the materials it is made of (such as plastic or textile) per Note 2 to Chapter 65, which directs parts to this specific code regardless of material composition.

Codes often confused with 6507.00
Common mistake. A common misclassification for visor peaks is HS code 6505.00, which covers finished hats and headgear. This occurs when the peak is mistaken for a complete sun visor (the type with a headband). If the item is a standalone peak intended for assembly, it must stay in 6507.00. Another error involves classifying plastic peaks under 3926.90 (other articles of plastics). However, since 6507.00 is a more specific heading for headgear parts, it takes precedence over general material headings according to GRI 3(a). Similarly, textile peaks should not be classified under 6307.90.

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).
