Inflatable Stick
An inflatable stick is a lightweight, portable device typically constructed from plastic or rubber, designed to be filled with air to provide structural support. They are commonly used for recreational and signaling purposes.
Material
- PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): The most common material due to its durability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness.
- TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane): Offers greater durability and resistance to abrasion than PVC, often used in higher-end products.
- Rubber: Less common now, but historically used for its elasticity.
Purpose
- Recreation: Used as toys, props for games, or as part of larger inflatable structures.
- Signaling: Brightly colored inflatable sticks can be used to direct traffic, mark locations, or as visual signals in emergencies.
- Cheering/Support: Often used at sporting events or parades as noisemakers or visual displays.
- Safety: Used as impact indicators or barriers in certain safety applications.
Function
Inflatable sticks function by utilizing contained air pressure to maintain a rigid or semi-rigid shape. The air provides the necessary support for waving, pointing, or creating a visual presence. The flexibility of the material allows for bending and movement without breaking.
Usage Scenarios
- Sporting Events: Used by fans to show support and create a lively atmosphere.
- Parades & Festivals: Used as props or decorations.
- Traffic Control: Used by flaggers to direct vehicles.
- Emergency Situations: Used for signaling or marking safe zones.
- Promotional Events: Used as giveaways or advertising tools.
- Playgrounds & Recreation: Used as toys for children.
Common Types
- Solid Color Sticks: Simplest form, often used for cheering or signaling.
- Clapper Sticks: Contain internal plastic or metal pieces that create a loud noise when clapped together. These are popular at sporting events.
- Puffer Sticks: Designed to be inflated by blowing into them, typically used as noisemakers.
- Light-Up Sticks: Incorporate LED lights for added visibility and visual effect.
- Custom Printed Sticks: Feature logos, messages, or designs for promotional purposes.
- Boom Sticks: Larger inflatable sticks, often used at sporting events to create a significant visual and auditory impact.
- Traffic Batons: Specifically designed for traffic control, often with reflective strips for increased visibility.
Based on the provided information, the following HS codes may be relevant to “inflatable stick”:
- 3916100000: This HS code falls under Chapter 39, which covers plastics and articles thereof. Specifically, it relates to monofilament of which any cross-sectional dimension exceeds 1 mm, rods, sticks and profile shapes, whether or not surface-worked but not otherwise worked, of polymers of ethylene. This could apply if the inflatable stick is made of polyethylene plastic.
- 3916903000: Also within Chapter 39, this code covers monofilament of which any cross-sectional dimension exceeds 1 mm, rods, sticks and profile shapes, whether or not surface-worked but not otherwise worked, of other plastics. If the inflatable stick is made of plastic other than polymers of ethylene, this code may be applicable. The subheading specifies "Other: Monofilament".
- 3926907500: This HS code is under Chapter 39, covering other articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 3901 to 3914. It specifically relates to pneumatic mattresses and other inflatable articles, not elsewhere specified or included. This is a broad category that could cover inflatable sticks if they don't fall under more specific classifications.
- 4016950000: This HS code falls under Chapter 40, which covers other articles of vulcanized rubber other than hard rubber. It specifically relates to other inflatable articles. This code may be applicable if the inflatable stick is made of vulcanized rubber.

Important Note:
The appropriate HS code will depend on the material composition of the inflatable stick. If the stick is made of plastic, consider both 3916100000 and 3916903000 based on whether it's made of polymers of ethylene or other plastics. If it's made of rubber, 4016950000 may be applicable. If it doesn't fit into more specific categories, 3926907500 could be used.
