Hats and other headgear; plaited or made by assembling strips of any material, whether or not lined or trimmed

In plain English

This category includes hats and other headgear that are either plaited or constructed by assembling strips of any material. These items may be lined or trimmed, but the defining characteristic is their method of construction using strips. The classification does not create further divisions, as there is only one subheading covering all such headgear regardless of lining or trimming.
