9506.99.12.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS classification, 9506.99.12.00, specifically covers "Other" badminton articles and equipment, excluding rackets, along with their parts and accessories. This designation applies to a broad range of items used for playing badminton that do not fit into more specific subheadings within heading 9506. Examples include shuttlecocks (birdies), netting for badminton courts, and any other equipment or accessory essential for the sport that isn't a racket.

To distinguish this category from its sibling, 9506.99.08.00, which specifically covers nets made of cotton, this subheading is broader. It encompasses all other types of badminton netting, regardless of material, and importantly, includes a wide array of other badminton-related items besides nets. Therefore, the key differentiator is the scope of goods covered beyond just cotton nets.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Its purpose is to act as a residual category for badminton equipment and accessories that fall under heading 9506 but are not otherwise specified. Classification within this subheading requires careful consideration of the item's intended use for the sport of badminton and its exclusion from more narrowly defined categories.
