Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 950670 when importing or exporting ice and roller skates, including those with attached boots. For instance, if you're shipping a set of roller skates packaged in a retail box, this is the correct code.
This code specifically covers skates designed for ice or roller skating, distinguishing them from other sports equipment in the 9506 heading. For example, while HS-6 950640 pertains to skateboards, HS-6 950670 focuses solely on skates.
When classifying products, remember that HS-6 950670 includes both the skates themselves and any associated boots that come pre-attached. This is important for accurate tariff classification and duty calculations.
If you're dealing with ice hockey skates or roller derby skates, they also fall under this code. However, ensure that your product does not fit into other categories like recreational skateboards or sports footwear, which have different HS codes.
