6603.20.90.00 - Other

This HTS category, 6603.20.90.00, encompasses "Other" parts, trimmings, and accessories for umbrellas and sun umbrellas (heading 6601) and walking sticks, seatsticks, whips, and riding-crops (heading 6602). Specifically, this designation applies to components and embellishments not explicitly covered by other subcategories within heading 6603.20. This includes a wide range of items such as decorative elements, fasteners, handles not considered parts of shafts, and other sundry components essential to the assembly or functionality of these articles.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 6603.20.30.00, is crucial. The sibling category is exclusively for umbrella frames specifically designed and chiefly used for handheld umbrellas intended for protection against rain. Therefore, 6603.20.90.00 covers all other parts and accessories for umbrellas (including those not primarily for rain protection) and all parts and accessories for walking sticks, seatsticks, whips, and riding-crops, provided they are not otherwise classified.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification database, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification within 6603.20.90.00 is determined by the exclusion principle: if a part or accessory for an umbrella, sun umbrella, walking stick, seatstick, whip, or riding-crop does not fall under a more specific HTS code within Chapter 66, it will be classified here. This emphasizes the residual nature of this designation, capturing all remaining relevant components.
