Ice Silk Turban
An ice silk turban is a head covering constructed from a lightweight, often stretchable fabric composed primarily of polyester microfibers, marketed for its cooling and comfortable properties.
Material:
The defining characteristic is its composition. “Ice silk” is a trade name often used to describe a very fine polyester fabric, though sometimes blends with other materials like spandex are incorporated for elasticity. The fabric is manufactured using a specific weaving technique that creates a smooth, silky texture. It differs from natural silk in its production process and cost, being a synthetic alternative.
Purpose:
The primary purpose of an ice silk turban is to provide a cooling sensation and sun protection, particularly during warm weather or physical activity. It’s also used for fashion, religious observance, and hair protection.
Function:
The fabric’s tightly woven structure allows it to absorb and retain moisture, which evaporates and creates a cooling effect on the skin. The material is breathable and quick-drying. The turban design provides coverage for the head and hair, shielding it from direct sunlight, wind, and dust. Some designs offer UV protection.
Usage Scenarios:
- Outdoor Activities: Popular for running, cycling, hiking, fishing, and other sports, providing sun protection and cooling.
- Warm Weather: Used in hot climates to regulate body temperature and prevent overheating.
- Religious Observance: Worn by some individuals as part of their religious practices (e.g., Sikhs wearing turbans).
- Hair Protection: Protects hair from damage caused by sun, wind, and dust, and can help to maintain hairstyles.
- Fashion Accessory: Used as a stylish head covering for various occasions.
- Medical Use: Some individuals use them to protect sensitive scalps during chemotherapy or other medical treatments.
Common Types:
- Headbands: Narrower versions used primarily for absorbing sweat during exercise.
- Full Turbans: Wider versions that completely cover the head.
- Tie-Back Turbans: Designed with ties for a secure fit.
- Pre-tied Turbans: Convenient options that require minimal tying.
- Printed Turbans: Available in a wide variety of colors and patterns.
- Seamless Turbans: Constructed without seams for increased comfort.
- UV Protection Turbans: Specifically designed to block harmful ultraviolet rays.

Here are the relevant HS codes based on the provided reference material:
-
6214102000: This HS code covers shawls, scarves, mufflers, mantillas, veils and the like, specifically those made of silk or silk waste. Given that “ice silk” may be a marketing term for a silk blend or a silk-like synthetic, this code is a potential match.

- 14: Heading 6214 specifically covers shawls, scarves, mufflers, mantillas, veils and the like.
- 102000: This subheading further specifies “of silk or silk waste.” The applicable tax rate is a base tariff of 3.9%, a surcharge of 7.5%, and a surcharge of 30.0% after April 2, 2025, resulting in a total tariff of 41.4%.
-
