9506.21.40.00 - Sailboards

This HTS category, 9506.21.40.00, specifically covers completed sailboards. These are watercraft designed for windsurfing, typically consisting of a board with a mast and sail attached, enabling a rider to be propelled across the water by the wind. The classification is focused on the complete, functional unit ready for use in the sport.

It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, 9506.21.80.00, which covers parts and accessories for sailboards. While this category is for the assembled sailboard itself, the sibling category would encompass individual components such as sails, masts, booms, fins, or repair kits specifically designed for sailboards. The presence or absence of these integral components is key to differentiating between a complete sailboard and its constituent parts.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this specific HTS code relies on identifying the goods as a finished sailboard. Items that do not meet the definition of a complete sailboard, such as components or equipment for other water sports, would fall under different HTS classifications.
