HTS heading 6601 is a broad product category for umbrellas and sun umbrellas. It includes ordinary handheld umbrellas, walking-stick umbrellas, garden or patio umbrellas, and similar products designed primarily to protect people or property from rain or sun. The heading describes the general product family, not one single finished classification.
To reach a specific 8-digit HTSUS code, start with the applicable subheading and then compare the product’s features with the listed tariff descriptions. The deciding detail may include the umbrella’s type, intended use, construction, or principal materials. The 8-digit code is more specific than the 4-digit heading and must match the imported item’s actual design and composition; review the current HTSUS wording and any applicable classification guidance.
What to check
- Identify whether the item is a rain umbrella, sun or garden umbrella, walking-stick umbrella, or another similar design.
- Record the umbrella’s construction and principal materials, including the canopy, frame, shaft, handle, and base if supplied as part of the product.
- Compare the complete product with every relevant subheading description rather than choosing a code based only on the product name or marketing label.
- Check whether the item is imported alone or as a set, and classify any included stand, base, cover, or accessory according to the applicable rules.
- Verify the selected 8-digit code against the current HTSUS and seek a customs broker or binding ruling when the product has mixed materials, unusual construction, or an unclear primary use.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
