6603.90.41.00 - Umbrella handles, knobs, tips and caps

This HTS classification, 6603.90.41.00, specifically covers umbrella handles, knobs, tips, and caps. These are distinct components designed for use with umbrellas and sun umbrellas falling under headings 6601 or 6602. The classification focuses on the individual parts rather than the complete umbrella itself, emphasizing items that contribute to the functionality and aesthetics of the umbrella's structure, such as the grip (handle), decorative or functional end pieces (knobs), and protective or reinforcing elements for the tip and frame.

Within the broader category of "Other" parts, trimmings, and accessories for umbrellas and walking sticks (6603.90), this subcategory is differentiated by the specific nature of the items. Unlike the sibling category 6603.90.81.00, which is designated for "Other" unspecified parts, 6603.90.41.00 is precise in identifying these particular components: handles, knobs, tips, and caps. Classification here hinges on the item's form and intended use as an integral part of an umbrella or sun umbrella, regardless of the material from which it is constructed.

As this is a terminal classification, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification decision for items falling under 6603.90.41.00 rests solely on determining if the imported component is indeed a handle, knob, tip, or cap intended for use with an umbrella or sun umbrella. Any other parts, trimmings, or accessories not explicitly described by these terms would likely fall under the residual category 6603.90.81.00.
