6601.99.00.00 - Other

HTS Code 6601.99.00.00 encompasses umbrellas and sun umbrellas that do not possess a telescopic shaft. This category serves as a residual classification for articles falling under heading 6601 that are not specifically categorized as having a telescopic shaft. Therefore, any umbrella or sun umbrella whose shaft is fixed in length and does not extend or retract through a telescopic mechanism will be classified here.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling, HTS Code 6601.91.00.00, which specifically covers umbrellas and sun umbrellas "Having a telescopic shaft." The presence or absence of this particular functional feature – the telescopic shaft – is the sole determinant for distinguishing between these two subcategories within the "Other" umbrella classification.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 6601.99.00.00 is therefore based on the exclusion criteria of the telescopic shaft. Examples of items that would fall under this classification include traditional stick umbrellas with a rigid, non-extending shaft, as well as certain garden umbrellas designed for fixed placement, provided they meet the general definition of an umbrella under heading 6601.
