9507.90.20.00 - Fishing line put up and packaged for retail sale

This HTS classification covers fishing line that is specifically prepared and packaged for direct sale to consumers. Such items are typically found in retail environments, such as sporting goods stores or online marketplaces, and are presented in ready-to-use formats for anglers. The key defining characteristic is the retail packaging, which indicates its intended end-use by individual purchasers.

This category is distinct from its sibling categories. Unlike fishing casts or leaders (9507.90.40.00), this classification pertains solely to the fishing line itself, not pre-tied leaders or lines with added features. Furthermore, it is differentiated from fish landing nets and butterfly nets (9507.90.60.00), which are distinct pieces of fishing equipment. Finally, it excludes "other" items and parts/accessories falling under the broader "Other" subheading.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification within 9507.90.20.00 is on identifying fishing line that is presented in consumer-friendly packaging, such as spools, kits, or pre-cut lengths, clearly intended for retail sale. Common materials include nylon, monofilament, braided synthetics, and other similar materials used in the manufacture of fishing line.
