6601.10.00.00 - Garden or similar umbrellas

This HTS classification, 6601.10.00.00, specifically covers garden or similar umbrellas. These are typically designed for outdoor use, providing shade in gardens, patios, beaches, or other recreational areas. Key characteristics often include larger canopies, robust construction to withstand outdoor elements, and mechanisms for stability such as weighted bases or mounting poles intended for insertion into the ground or furniture. The primary function is broad area shading rather than personal portable protection.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, "Other" umbrellas, which would encompass all umbrellas not specifically designed for garden or similar outdoor use. This would include standard portable umbrellas for personal protection against rain or sun, such as those carried for everyday use or travel. The distinction lies in the intended purpose and the physical attributes associated with that purpose; garden umbrellas are generally larger, less portable, and designed for stationary, broader shade coverage.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 6601.10.00.00 is determined by whether the umbrella meets the criteria of being designed for garden or similar outdoor shading purposes. The presence of features like a central pole for ground insertion, a large, stable canopy, and construction materials suited for outdoor environments are key identifiers for this specific classification.
