Classification of amusement park swings under HS 9508.22
Amusement park swings are classified under HS code 9508.22. This classification falls under Chapter 95, which covers toys, games, and sports requisites, specifically Heading 9508 for travelling circuses, travelling exhibitions, and amusement park rides. The 2022 updates to the Harmonized System significantly expanded and clarified Heading 9508 to provide specific subheadings for different types of attractions. Subheading 9508.22 is dedicated to carousels, swings, and roundabouts. The classification is determined by the intended use and the mechanical nature of the equipment. These are products designed for permanent or temporary installation in amusement parks or fairgrounds to provide entertainment through motion. The code covers large-scale mechanical structures and does not apply to simple, non-mechanical playground equipment. The distinction is based on the complexity, scale, and commercial application of the ride. Under GRI 1, the primary description of the heading and relevant section notes dictate that these items are classified here because they are functional amusement park amusements rather than general exercise equipment or furniture.

Codes often confused with 9508.22
Common mistake. Amusement park swings are often confused with HS code 9506.91, which covers general physical exercise equipment. However, 9506 is intended for sports and gym gear, whereas 9508 is specific to fairground and amusement park rides. Another misclassification is 9401.80, which covers other seats; while a swing has a seat, its primary function as a motorized ride excludes it from the furniture chapter.

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).
