HS chapter 66: Umbrellas, walking-sticks
Section XII — Footwear, headgear, umbrellas, sun umbrellas, walking-sticks, seat-sticks, whips, riding-crops and parts thereof; prepared feathers and articles made therewith; artificial flowers; articles of human hair
Goods classified under HS-66 include umbrellas, sun umbrellas, walking sticks, and various types of whips and riding crops. For example, if you're importing a shipment of garden umbrellas, you'll need to determine the correct subheading for accurate customs processing.
To drill down to HS-4 codes, start with the general category of your product. For instance, if your product is an umbrella, check if it fits under 6601 for umbrellas and sun umbrellas. If it’s a walking stick, you’ll look at 6602. Understanding the specific use and form of your product is crucial for proper classification.
When deciding between HS-4 codes, consider the product's features. An umbrella with a handle might fall under 6601, while a decorative walking stick would be classified under 6602. If your product has parts or accessories, you may need to reference 6603 for trimmings related to the other two categories.
Review the notes and definitions associated with each heading to clarify any ambiguities. For example, if your product includes a combination of features from both 6601 and 6602, evaluate the primary function to choose the most appropriate code.
