Names come in English where the EU Combined Nomenclature publishes them — chapters, headings and subheadings, whose first six digits are the same Harmonized System; deeper EAEU detail is a machine translation, marked as such. Official texts — tariff notes, measures, lists and classification rulings — are the original: customs and your broker go by that wording. Where we show a machine translation of them, it is marked; where our quality check rejected one, the Russian stays.
Machine translation. The original is the Russian text of the EAEU tariff, and customs goes by it; this translation is for understanding only and has no legal force.
This is the base rate. A tariff quota, a preference for the country of origin and a tariff exemption lower it; anti-dumping and special duties are paid on top of it
EEC Council Decision No. 80 of 14.09.2021
None: russian bans and restrictions, dual use, EAEU non-tariff regulation, trade defence measures — duty on top of the tariff, tariff quota.
Whether a measure applies to your goods depends on their characteristics and the shipping documents
Exempt if it is a medical device on the exemption list. Otherwise 22%.

6505 Hats and other headgear, knitted or crocheted, or made up from lace, felt or fur felt or other textile material, in the piece (but not in strips), whether or not lined or trimmed; hair-nets of any material, whether or not lined or trimmed
This heading covers hats and headgear (whether or not lined or trimmed) made directly on the knitting machine or by hand knitting (whether fulled or not), and also those made up from lace, felt or other textile material in the piece, irrespective of the stages of processing which the material of which the article is made has undergone (oiling, waxing, rubberising or other impregnation or coating). The heading also covers sewn hat-shapes, but not hat-shapes or other headgear of sewn or otherwise assembled plaits or strips (heading 6504). The heading also covers felt hats and other headgear made from the hat bodies, hoods or plateaux (felt discs) of heading 6501, including hoods that have been blocked or provided with brims. Articles are classified in this heading whether they are lined or trimmed or are not lined or trimmed. They include:
(1) Hats with or without trimming with ribbons, hat pins, buckles, artificial flowers, leaves or n buckets, feathers or other finishes of any material. Headdresses of feathers or artificial flowers are not included in this heading (heading 6506). (2) Berets, hoods, yarmulkes and similar articles. Such products are usually made directly on a knitted machine or by hand knitting and are often made (for example, berets). (3) Some Oriental headgear (such as fez). Such hats are usually made directly on a knitted machine or by hand knitting and are often made. (4) Caps of various types (shaped caps, etc.). (5) Service and church headdresses (mitres, headdresses of Catholic priests, academic caps with a flat square top, etc.).

(7) Cork or tropical helmets covered with textile material. (8) Suidwests. (9) Hoods.

(10) Cylinders and opera hats. This heading also includes hair nets and similar articles. They are made of any material, usually from tulle or other mesh knitted fabrics of machine or hand knitting or human hair.
