Overview
This HTS subheading, 9506.19.40.00, specifically classifies "Cross-country" snow-ski equipment. This category is intended for skis and related accessories designed for the sport of cross-country skiing, which typically involves traversing varied snow-covered terrain over longer distances, often on flatter or gently undulating landscapes. The focus is on equipment optimized for propulsion and glide in such environments, distinguishing it from downhill or other specialized ski types.
At the same level within the broader snow-ski equipment classification, the sibling category 9506.19.80 covers "Other" snow-ski equipment not otherwise specified. This implies that 9506.19.40.00 is the designated classification for the distinct purpose and design characteristics inherent to cross-country skiing, while 9506.19.80 would encompass any remaining ski-related articles that do not fit the specific definitions of other subheadings.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions under 9506.19.40.00. Therefore, the classification is definitive for cross-country ski equipment. When classifying items under this subheading, customs professionals should consider the intended use and design features that differentiate cross-country skis and their accessories from other types of snow-skiing equipment, ensuring accurate duty assessment.
