Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 950420 when importing or exporting billiard articles and accessories, such as pool cues, billiard balls, or table covers. For example, a shipment of 100 pool cues would fall under this code.
This code specifically covers billiard accessories, distinguishing it from HS-6 950430, which pertains to articles for billiards and similar games, like snooker tables. If you're dealing with billiard tables rather than accessories, you would use the latter code.
Billiard articles under this classification include items like chalk, cue racks, and table brushes. If you're unsure whether your product qualifies, consider its primary use and whether it enhances the billiard experience or is a standalone accessory.
When classifying products, be mindful of the packaging and intended use. Accessories designed for billiard tables, such as felt or padded covers, also fit this HS-6, while unrelated gaming items should be classified elsewhere.
