Chapter 66 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) generally covers umbrellas, sun umbrellas, and related articles. Heading 6601 includes umbrellas and similar products, such as walking-stick umbrellas and garden umbrellas. Heading 6603 covers parts, trimmings, and accessories for articles of heading 6601 or heading 6602. Always read the current heading text and legal notes because product details and exclusions can affect classification.
The HTS is organized from broad to specific: chapter, heading, subheading, and then the complete 10-digit statistical code used for US import entry. To classify a product, first determine whether it is a complete umbrella or a part or accessory, then review the applicable heading and move through the subheadings using the product’s construction, features, and intended use. Confirm the final code against the current HTS and, when the facts are unclear, seek a customs broker’s or CBP ruling-based assessment.
What to check
- Identify whether the item is a complete umbrella, a part, a replacement component, or an accessory; do not assume every related item belongs in Chapter 66.
- Check the product’s construction and function, including its frame, covering, handle, mechanism, and intended use; material alone may not determine classification.
- Read the exclusions and legal notes, and verify whether another chapter or heading better describes specialized, decorative, sporting, or multifunction products.
- Use the heading and subheading descriptions in sequence, comparing the product’s actual features with each available branch before selecting the 10-digit code.
- Check current Chapter 99 provisions and any applicable additional duties, exclusions, or reporting requirements separately from the ordinary Chapter 66 classification.
How to use this chapter
A chapter is the first classification level, not a duty rate. Choose the heading that describes the product, narrow by material, construction, use, or other legal distinctions, and verify the final line against the official HTS notes.
