The disposable cap is intended for food processing, manufacturing and general maintenance applications. The cap may be imported in various colors including white, blue, green, red and yellow and in sizes ranging from 19” to 28”. Depending on the color, size and quantity combinations, the caps may be imported under item numbers 9008SI, 9012SI, 9042SI, 9008SIM, 9012SIM and 9042SIM.
The applicable subheading for items 9008SI, 9012SI, 9042SI, 9008SIM, 9012SIM and 9042SIM will be 6505.00.8015, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for “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; hair-nets of any material, whether or not lined or trimmed: Other: Other: Of man-made fibers: Other: Not in part of braid: Nonwoven disposable headgear without peaks or visors.” The rate of duty will be 18.7 cents per kilogram plus 6.8 percent ad valorem.
