9508.29.00.00 - Other 🖩

HTS code 9508.29.00.00, described as "Other," encompasses amusement park rides and water park amusements that do not fall into the more specifically defined categories within heading 9508.2. This residual category serves as a catch-all for any mechanical or automated attractions designed for entertainment purposes at amusement parks, theme parks, or water parks that are not explicitly listed as roller coasters, carousels, swings, roundabouts, bumper cars, motion simulators, moving theaters, or water rides. The classification here relies on the primary function and nature of the amusement, differentiating it from the distinct operational mechanics or themes of its sibling categories.

For instance, while 9508.21.00.00 covers the specific gravity-defying thrill of roller coasters, and 9508.22.00.00 details classic rotational attractions like carousels and swings, 9508.29.00.00 would include rides with unique operational principles or thematic presentations that don't fit neatly into those established groupings. Examples might include free-fall towers, spinning teacups with distinct motion patterns, or specialized trackless dark rides where the primary classification criteria are the unique ride experience and mechanics that diverge from the defined sibling categories. The absence of subcategories indicates that any item classifiable under 9508.29.00.00 is considered a distinct final classification within the HTS structure.
