About hat-shapes; plaited or made by assembling strips of any material, neither blocked to shape, nor with made brims, nor lined, nor trimmed

HS code 6502 covers the production of hat-shapes that are plaited or made by assembling strips of any material, but are neither blocked to shape, nor have made brims, nor are lined or trimmed. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader textile and apparel sector, providing the foundational components for a wide range of headwear products consumed globally.

Production process

The production of 6502 hat-shapes typically involves the plaiting or assembling of strips of various materials, such as straw, paper, or synthetic fibers. This process is carried out manually or with the aid of specialized machinery, depending on the scale and complexity of the operation. The key steps include sourcing and preparing the raw materials, plaiting or assembling the strips, and shaping the hat-shapes without blocking or trimming them.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the 6502 industry include the raw materials used to create the plaited or assembled strips, such as straw, paper, or synthetic fibers. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and tools for the plaiting and assembling processes, as well as skilled labor to carry out the production tasks.

Production outputs

The primary output of the 6502 industry is the unblocked, unlined, and untrimmed hat-shapes, which are then consumed by other industries, such as 6504 Hats and other headgear, plaited or made by assembling strips of any material, whether or not lined or trimmed and 6505 (Hats and other headgear, knitted or crocheted, or made up from lace, felt or other textile fabric, in the piece (but not in strips), whether or not lined or trimmed), for further processing and the manufacture of finished headwear products.
