9506.62.80.60 - Other

This HTS code, 9506.62.80.60, encompasses inflatable balls that do not fall into the specific categories of basketballs or volleyballs. It serves as a residual classification for other types of inflatable sporting or recreational balls. The key defining characteristic for inclusion here is that the ball is designed to be inflated with air and is not specifically enumerated under other subheadings within the "Inflatable balls" category.

Distinguishing this classification from its siblings is crucial for accurate customs declarations. While 9506.62.80.20 specifically covers basketballs and 9506.62.80.40 is designated for volleyballs, this "Other" category captures a broader range of inflatable balls. Examples include, but are not limited to, inflatable soccer balls, playground balls, beach balls, and dodgeballs, provided they are designed for sporting, recreational, or game purposes and are inflatable.

As a leaf node, 9506.62.80.60 does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification under this heading relies on the definitive exclusion from the more specific sibling categories. Importers and exporters should carefully consider the primary intended use and physical characteristics of their inflatable balls to ensure they are correctly assigned to this general "Other" category when they do not fit the more narrowly defined classifications of basketballs or volleyballs.
