9506.99.05.10 - Bows and bow parts

This HTS classification covers archery bows and their individual components and parts. It encompasses a wide range of bows designed for archery, whether for sport, hunting, or recreational purposes. This includes traditional longbows, recurve bows, compound bows, and their constituent elements such as risers, limbs, cams, strings, and arrow rests. The primary function of these goods is to propel an arrow through the force stored and released by the bow mechanism.

This category is distinct from its sibling, 9506.99.05.20, which specifically classifies arrows and their parts. While this category focuses on the device that launches the arrow, the sibling category deals with the projectile itself, including arrow shafts, nocks, vanes, and broadheads.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories under 9506.99.05.10. Therefore, all items fitting the description of bows and bow parts will be classified here, provided they do not fall under more specific headings within Chapter 95 or other relevant chapters of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. Classification will be based on the physical characteristics, design, and intended use of the articles.
