9506.62.80.40 - Volleyballs

This HTS classification covers inflatable balls specifically designed for the sport of volleyball. These items are characterized by their spherical shape, inflated internal volume, and typically a durable outer casing constructed from materials suitable for high-impact play, such as synthetic leather or rubber. The primary function of these goods is participation in organized or recreational volleyball matches.

This category is distinct from its siblings, basketballs (9506.62.80.20), which are generally larger and designed for dribbling and shooting, and other inflatable balls (9506.62.80.60), which encompass a broader range of inflatable spheres not specifically classified as volleyballs. The designation here hinges on the item's intended use and specific design features that align with the rules and gameplay of volleyball.

As this is a terminal node within the HTS structure for this specific item, there are no further subdivisions. Classification at this level relies on confirming the item is indeed an inflatable ball and that its primary intended use is for volleyball. Items not meeting these criteria, or that are not inflatable, would be classified elsewhere.
