Inflatable Ball
An inflatable ball is a spherical ball made of a typically flexible material, inflated with air or another gas. They are used in a wide variety of play, exercise, and decorative applications.
Material
- PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): The most common material due to its low cost, durability, and ease of manufacturing. Often used for beach balls, pool balls, and children’s play balls.
- Rubber: Offers greater elasticity and is suitable for sports balls requiring bounce, such as basketballs, volleyballs, and soccer balls. Natural and synthetic rubber variations exist.
- TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane): A more durable and abrasion-resistant material than PVC, often used in fitness balls and exercise balls.
- Latex: Used for smaller, thinner inflatable balls like party balloons.
- Nylon/Polyester (with Coating): Used for larger inflatable structures, often coated with PVC or TPU for air retention.
Purpose & Function
The primary function of an inflatable ball is to provide a lightweight, buoyant object for recreation, exercise, or visual display. Specific purposes vary greatly depending on the type.
- Play: Beach balls, playground balls, and novelty balls are designed for casual games and entertainment.
- Sports: Used in a wide range of sports, providing a standardized object for competition.
- Exercise/Fitness: Large inflatable balls (exercise balls, stability balls) are used for core strengthening, balance training, and rehabilitation.
- Decoration: Balloons and larger inflatable shapes are used for parties, events, and advertising.
Usage Scenarios
- Beaches & Pools: Beach balls and water balls are common recreational items.
- Sports Fields & Gymnasiums: Used for organized sports and training.
- Playgrounds & Parks: Children’s play balls are used for individual and group games.
- Indoor Fitness & Therapy: Exercise balls are used for a variety of fitness routines and physical therapy exercises.
- Events & Parties: Balloons and inflatable decorations are used for visual appeal.

Common Types
- Beach Ball: Typically made of PVC, brightly colored, and designed for water play.
- Basketball: Made of rubber or synthetic materials, with textured surfaces for grip.
- Volleyball: Similar to basketballs, but lighter and softer.
- Soccer Ball (Football): Typically made of rubber or synthetic leather, with a segmented panel design.
- Exercise Ball (Stability Ball, Fitness Ball): Large, durable balls made of TPU or rubber, used for core strengthening and balance training.
- Bouncy Ball: Small, highly elastic balls made of rubber or a similar material.
- Party Balloon: Typically made of latex, filled with helium or air for decoration.
- Water Ball: Designed for use in water, often with bright colors and patterns.
- Punching Ball: Inflatable ball suspended from a stand, used for boxing or martial arts training.

Inflatable balls fall under several potential classifications depending on their specific use and material. Here's a breakdown of relevant HS codes based on the provided information:
- 9506696020: This code covers “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: Balls, other than golf balls and table-tennis balls: Other: Other”. This is a broad category encompassing sports balls, but excludes golf and table tennis balls. The total tax rate is 42.4% (Base Tariff: 4.9%, Additional Tariff: 7.5%, Post-April 2, 2025 Additional Tariff: 30.0%).
- 4016950000: This code refers to “Other articles of vulcanized rubber other than hard rubber: Other: Other inflatable articles”. This classification is specific to inflatable articles made of vulcanized rubber. The total tax rate is 41.7% (Base Tariff: 4.2%, Additional Tariff: 7.5%, Post-April 2, 2025 Additional Tariff: 30.0%).
- 3926907500: This code covers “Other articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 3901 to 3914: Other: Pneumatic mattresses and other inflatable articles, not elsewhere specified or included”.

The total tax rate is 34.2% (Base Tariff: 4.2%, Additional Tariff: 0.0%, Post-April 2, 2025 Additional Tariff: 30.0%).
It is important to determine the material composition of the inflatable ball to select the most accurate HS code. If the ball is made of rubber, 4016950000 would be appropriate. If it's made of plastic, 3926907500 would be more suitable. If it's used for sports, 9506696020 could apply.
