Overview
This HTS subcategory, 9506.70.20.10, specifically classifies roller skates that are designed to be directly attached to boots. This includes roller skates where the skate mechanism is permanently affixed to a footwear item, creating a single unit for recreational or sporting use. The key defining characteristic is the integration of the roller skate with the boot itself.
Distinguishing this from its sibling category, 9506.70.20.90, is crucial. The sibling category, "Other," is reserved for roller skates that are *not* attached to boots. This would encompass standalone roller skates where the boot and skate are separate components, or perhaps roller skates designed to be attached by the user to their own footwear, but not permanently integrated. Therefore, the presence of an integrated boot is the determining factor for classification under 9506.70.20.10.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification decisions at this level hinge entirely on the physical construction and intended use of the roller skate, specifically whether it is pre-attached to a boot. This distinction ensures accurate import and export declarations for specialized roller skating equipment.
