Chapter 66 FAQ
What does HS code chapter 66 cover?
Chapter 66 of the Harmonized System covers: umbrellas, sun umbrellas, walking-sticks, seat sticks, whips, riding crops; and parts thereof. It belongs to section XII (Footwear & Headgear) and contains 3 four-digit headings, 6601–6603.
How many HS codes are in chapter 66?
Chapter 66 contains 3 four-digit headings and 6 six-digit subheadings. Countries subdivide these further (8–13 digits) in their national tariff schedules, so the full national count is larger.
Is HS code 6601 the same in every country?
Yes. The six-digit level of every code in this chapter is harmonised by the World Customs Organization and identical in all member countries. Digits beyond the sixth (for example the US 10-digit HTS or the EU 8-digit CN) are national and set the actual duty rate.
How do I choose the right code within chapter 66?
Work from the four-digit heading down: pick the heading that best matches your product, then the six-digit subheading that matches its material, form or processing. If two codes seem to fit, customs rules (the General Rules of Interpretation) decide, and when in doubt, confirm with your customs broker before filing.
