9507.10.00.80 - Parts and accessories

This HTS subcategory, 9507.10.00.80, encompasses a broad range of parts and accessories specifically designed for use with fishing rods. This includes components such as reel seats, rod grips, guides, ferrules, and any other manufactured items that are integral to the construction or functionality of a fishing rod. The primary criterion for inclusion is that these items are intended to be attached to or used in conjunction with a fishing rod, as opposed to being standalone fishing equipment.

While the sibling category 9507.10.00.40 covers complete fishing rods, this subcategory is strictly limited to the components and supplementary items that make up or enhance a fishing rod. Therefore, a finished fishing rod, even if disassembled into its constituent parts, would still be classified under 9507.10.00.40, whereas individual replacement parts or customization accessories would fall here. The purpose of these parts and accessories is to enable the assembly, repair, or modification of fishing rods.

As this is a terminal node within the HTS structure for fishing rods, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 9507.10.00.80 is determined by the specific nature of the part or accessory and its direct relationship to fishing rods. This classification ensures that all components and supporting items for fishing rods are accounted for, facilitating accurate trade statistics and customs procedures.
