Overview
HTS code 9504.90.90.60 specifically classifies bowling equipment and parts and accessories thereof, excluding bowling balls which are classified under 9504.90.90.40. This broad category encompasses a wide range of items integral to the sport of bowling, such as bowling pinsetters, bowling lane maintenance equipment, and automated scoring systems. It also includes various accessories used in conjunction with bowling, like ball return mechanisms, lane conditioners, and replacement parts for pinsetter machinery.
While sibling categories like bowling balls are explicitly defined, this subdivision captures all other essential components and equipment not otherwise specified. The distinction lies in the exclusion of the primary projectile (the ball) and the inclusion of the machinery and auxiliary items that facilitate the game of bowling. Items classified here are designed and primarily used for the operation, maintenance, and enhancement of a bowling alley or the bowling experience.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 9504.90.90.60 is determined by the item's direct function and purpose within the context of bowling, ensuring that all remaining bowling-related articles are appropriately accounted for. This ensures a comprehensive coverage for all components of this popular sporting and recreational activity.
