9620.00.70.00 - Of aluminum

HTS code 9620.00.70.00 specifically classifies monopods, bipods, tripods, and similar portable support articles that are constructed predominantly from aluminum. These items are designed to provide stability for cameras, firearms, or other equipment, often by being placed on the ground or other surfaces. The key defining characteristic for inclusion in this category is the primary material of construction being aluminum.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling categories by the material composition. Unlike items classified under 9620.00.50.00 (of plastics), 9620.00.55.00 (of wood), 9620.00.60.00 (of graphite or other carbon), or 9620.00.65.00 (of iron or steel), the defining feature here is the use of aluminum. Therefore, any article falling under the general description of a monopod, bipod, or tripod, but primarily made of materials other than aluminum, would be classified elsewhere.

As this HTS code represents a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within it. Classification is solely determined by the item being a monopod, bipod, tripod, or similar article, and its primary material being aluminum. Practical examples include aluminum camera tripods, lightweight aluminum shooting sticks, or portable aluminum monopods for sports photography.
