Proposed Interpretive Rule Concerning Classification of Baseball-Style Caps With Ornamental Braid

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. The specific issue presented is how wide must ornamental braid be on a baseball-style cap to be classified in the HTSUS as either "wholly or in part of braid" rather than "not in part of braid." In an effort to achieve uniformity in the classification of this commodity, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is proposing that 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 as "wholly or in part of braid." Conversely, it is proposed that such braid in a width of less than \1/8\ of an inch will result in a cap being classifiable as "not in part of braid." CBP is soliciting public comment as to the appropriateness of the proposed threshold width.
