9507.20.80.00 - Other

This category, HTS Code 9507.20.80.00, encompasses "Other" fish hooks not otherwise specified within heading 9507. It is important to note that this classification is for fish hooks themselves, regardless of whether they are manufactured from metal or other materials. The primary function of these items is for the purpose of line fishing to catch fish.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 9507.20.40.00, is crucial. While 9507.20.40.00 specifically covers "Snelled hooks" (meaning hooks already attached to fishing line), HTS 9507.20.80.00 applies to individual, unsnelled fish hooks. This means that if a hook is not pre-rigged with fishing line, it falls under this classification.

As a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories for HTS 9507.20.80.00. Therefore, classification under this code relies entirely on the distinction between individual, unsnelled fish hooks and those that are already snelled. The scope of this category is strictly limited to these individual fishing hooks.
