Hat-forms, hat bodies and hoods of felt, neither blocked to shape nor with made brims; plateaux and manchons (including slit manchons)
Under the Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN), the code 6501 specifically identifies hat-forms, hat bodies and hoods of felt, neither blocked to shape nor with made brims; plateaux and manchons (including slit manchons) for the purpose of taxation and trade in Bharat. This ensures uniform classification across all Indian states and Union Territories.
"Classifying hat-forms, hat bodies and hoods of felt, neither blocked to shape nor with made brims; plateaux and manchons (including slit manchons) correctly is critical to avoid litigation. While the base rate is 18%, always check for anti-dumping duties if importing, especially under the Headgear category. AasanKhata automatically monitors these shifts for you."
