HS Code 6601.91 – Umbrellas and sun umbrellas; having a telescopic shaft, (excluding garden or similar umbrellas)
HS code 6601.91 is the 6-digit subheading for umbrellas and sun umbrellas, having a telescopic shaft, (excluding garden or similar umbrellas). It is used for compact travel umbrellas, folding rain umbrellas, mini pocket umbrellas, automatic telescopic umbrellas and windproof collapsible umbrellas.
What HS 6601.91 covers
This code covers compact, collapsible umbrellas designed for personal use, characterized by their telescopic shafts. These are everyday items widely traded globally, driven by consumer demand for convenience and protection from weather. Major importers include countries with high population densities and varying climates, such as the United States, Germany, and Japan, where personal mobility and fashion trends influence purchasing. Exporters are predominantly manufacturing hubs in Asia, particularly China, which dominates production due to cost-effective labor and established supply chains. Key aspects of trade involve design innovation (e.g., wind-resistant, automatic open/close), material choices (e.g., fiberglass, aluminum, polyester), and branding. The market is competitive, with a focus on both functionality and aesthetic appeal, making quality control and efficient logistics crucial for international distributors.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
