9508.30.00.00 - Fairground amusements 🖩

This HTS category, 9508.30.00.00, specifically encompasses fairground amusements. This includes attractions and equipment designed for entertainment at temporary public gatherings such as fairs, carnivals, and similar events. Examples include, but are not limited to, shooting galleries, dunk tanks, skill games, and other interactive attractions that are typically set up and dismantled for specific events rather than being permanently installed.

It is important to distinguish this category from its siblings. While 9508.10.00.00 covers traveling circuses and menageries, and 9508.40.00.00 pertains to traveling theaters, this code focuses on the specific amusement devices themselves. Furthermore, it differs from "Amusement park rides and water park amusements" (though not explicitly listed as a sibling code in this excerpt, it is implied to be at the same level), which are generally understood to be more substantial, permanent installations within dedicated amusement or water parks, as opposed to the often portable and temporary nature of fairground attractions.

As a leaf node, 9508.30.00.00 does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this code relies on identifying the item as an amusement device intended for fairground settings, distinct from other forms of entertainment or attractions mentioned at the broader HTS 9508 level. The key differentiator is the context of use and the nature of the attraction itself as a fairground amusement.
