Declaration Item Analysis: TABLE TENNIS SET
Based on the provided information, here's a detailed breakdown of the potential HS codes and associated tariffs for your "TABLE TENNIS SET" declaration. It appears multiple HS codes are listed, indicating some ambiguity in classification. We'll analyze each one to help you determine the most accurate code.
Understanding HS Codes:
The Harmonized System (HS) code is a six-digit international commodity classification code. Let's break down what each part generally signifies:
- First 2 Digits (Chapter): Broadly defines the category of goods.
- Next 2 Digits (Subheading): Narrows down the category.
- Last 2 Digits (Item/Sub-Item): Specifies the exact product.
1. HS Code: 9506.40.00.00 – Articles and equipment for table-tennis, and parts and accessories thereof
- 95: Chapter 95 – Toys, games and sports equipment; parts and accessories thereof. This clearly indicates sports equipment.
- 06: Subheading 06 – Articles and equipment for general physical exercise, gymnastics, athletics or other sports.
- 40: Specifically for Table Tennis equipment.
- 00.00: Further specifies the item.
Tariff Details:
- Basic Duty: 5.1%
- Additional Duty: 0.0%
- Post April 2, 2025: Additional Duty increases to 30%.
- Total Tax: 35.1%
Recommendation: This is the most likely and appropriate HS code for a complete table tennis set, including the table, net, paddles, and balls.
2. HS Code: 9506.40.00.00 – Articles and equipment for general physical exercise, gymnastics, athletics, other sports (including table-tennis) or outdoor games, not specified or included elsewhere in this chapter; swimming pools and wading pools; parts and accessories thereof: Table-tennis sets; parts and accessories thereof
- 95: Chapter 95 – Toys, games and sports equipment; parts and accessories thereof.
- 06: Subheading 06 – Articles and equipment for general physical exercise, gymnastics, athletics or other sports.
- 40: Specifically for Table Tennis equipment.
- 00.00: Further specifies the item.
Tariff Details:
- Basic Duty: 5.1%
- Additional Duty: 0.0%
- Post April 2, 2025: Additional Duty increases to 30%.
- Total Tax: 35.1%
Recommendation: This HS code is essentially a duplicate of the first one. It's likely the system has identified the item in multiple ways. Using 9506.40.00.00 is sufficient.
3. HS Code: 4205.00.80.00 – Other articles of leather or of composition leather: Other: Other: Other
- 42: Chapter 42 – Articles of leather; saddlery and harness equipment; travel goods, handbags and similar articles; articles of animal gut.

Recommendation: This code is unlikely to be correct unless your table tennis set specifically includes significant leather components (e.g., a leather case, leather grips on the paddles). If the set is primarily made of wood, plastic, or metal, this code is not appropriate.
4. HS Code: 3926.90.99.10 – Other articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 3901 to 3914: Other: Other Laboratory ware
