Customs and Border Protection Bureau March 2005 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This document concerns the proper classification under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) of baseball- style caps featuring ornamental braid located between peak and crown. In an effort to achieve uniformity in the classification of this commodity, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has adopted as final a proposed interpretive rule whereby ornamental braid on a baseball-style cap, located between peak and crown in a width of \1/8\ of an inch or greater, will render the cap classifiable in the HTSUS as ``wholly or in part of braid.'' Conversely, such braid in a width of less than \1/ 8\ of an inch will result in a cap being classifiable in the HTSUS as ``not in part of braid.''
