What HS 9506.19 covers

This HS code serves as a catch-all for other snow-ski equipment not specifically covered by skis (950611) or ski-fastenings (950612). It encompasses a wide array of accessories and complementary items essential for skiing and snowboarding, such as ski poles, ski boots, and snowboard boots. International trade in these goods supports the broader winter sports industry, catering to both recreational enthusiasts and professional athletes. Major importers are countries with significant winter sports participation and tourism, including the United States, Canada, Germany, France, and Japan. Exporters often include specialized manufacturers in Europe and North America known for high-performance gear, alongside large-scale producers in Asia. Key considerations for trade involve material technology (e.g., lightweight composites, insulation), ergonomic design, safety standards for protective gear, and brand loyalty. The market is seasonal and influenced by trends in winter sports fashion and technology.

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. UN Comtrade records Taiwan as "Other Asia, not elsewhere specified". Saudi Arabia's exports under that code are left out: they are far too large to be trade with Taiwan, so mostly undisclosed partners. 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).
