Overview
This HTS classification, 9506.70.60.40, specifically covers complete ice skates, including those where the ice skate blade is permanently affixed to the footwear. It encompasses all types of ice skates intended for sporting or recreational use, from figure skates to hockey skates, as well as any accompanying protective gear or components that are integral to the functioning of the ice skate itself when sold as a set. This category is designed to capture the finished product of ice skates ready for use.
It is crucial to distinguish this category from its sibling, 9506.70.60.80, which is designated for "Parts and accessories" of ice skates. While this node includes the assembled ice skate, the sibling category would only cover individual components like replacement blades, mounting hardware, or skate bags that are not permanently attached to the footwear and are offered separately. The primary differentiator lies in whether the item is a functional unit of ice skates or a distinct component for repair or enhancement.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, the focus remains on the precise definition of what constitutes a complete ice skate under this code, ensuring accurate classification of the finished product and avoiding confusion with component parts.
