9506.70.60 - Other, including parts and accessories for ice skates with footwear permanently attached

HTS 9506.70.60 encompasses a range of items related to ice skating that are not otherwise specified or separately classified. This includes all other ice skates, regardless of whether they are integrated with footwear or sold separately, and crucially, parts and accessories for ice skates. The primary distinction from its sibling, 9506.70.40.00, which specifically covers ice skates with footwear permanently attached, is the inclusion of components and accessories.

This category serves as a residual for ice skate-related goods. If a particular item is identifiable as a part of an ice skate (e.g., a blade, a boot without a blade, a buckle, or a strap) or an accessory designed for their use or maintenance, it will fall under this heading rather than a specific product code. This ensures comprehensive coverage for all components and peripherals associated with ice skating equipment.

The subcategories within 9506.70.60 further delineate these items for precise classification. 9506.70.60.40 is dedicated to ice skates themselves, which may include those where the boot and blade are assembled but not permanently fused, or other configurations not covered by the permanently attached footwear provision. 9506.70.60.80 is designated for all parts and accessories intended for use with ice skates, providing a clear distinction for these supplementary items.
