9506.99.05 - Archery articles and equipment and parts and accessories thereof

This HTS classification, 9506.99.05, encompasses archery articles and equipment, along with their respective parts and accessories. This broad category is intended for goods used in the sport of archery that are not more specifically classified elsewhere within Chapter 95. It covers a wide array of items designed for bow-and-arrow sports, including but not limited to, target archery, field archery, and recreational archery.

While siblings at this level might cover other distinct sports equipment, such as badminton, baseball, or hockey gear, this heading is solely dedicated to archery. It serves as a catch-all for archery-related items not specifically enumerated under more granular subheadings or other headings within the HTS. The key differentiating factor is the specific nature of the sport and the unique equipment associated with it, namely bows, arrows, and their components.

The subcategories under 9506.99.05 further break down the archery equipment for more precise classification. The 9506.99.05.10 subheading specifically captures various types of bows used in archery, as well as their essential parts. Similarly, 9506.99.05.20 is designated for arrows and their components. The residual subheading, 9506.99.05.30, is intended for any remaining archery articles and equipment, parts, and accessories that do not fall into the more specific bow or arrow subheadings, ensuring comprehensive coverage for all archery-related goods.
