Classification of golf accessories under HS 9506.39

Golf accessories, excluding clubs and balls, are classified under HS code 9506.39. Chapter 95 covers toys, games, and sports requisites. Heading 9506 is the broad category for articles and equipment for general physical exercise, gymnastics, athletics, other sports, or outdoor games. Within the golf-specific subheadings, 9506.31 covers clubs and 9506.32 covers balls. Therefore, 9506.39 serves as the \"other\" category for all remaining specialized golf equipment. This includes items essential for the game or for the maintenance of the course playability by the player. The classification depends on the item being specifically designed for the sport of golf and not being a more general item of apparel or luggage. For example, a bag specifically designed to hold golf clubs is classified here, whereas a general-purpose duffel bag used to carry golf clothes might be classified under Chapter 42. GRI 1 and GRI 6 are applied to determine the correct subheading. The Explanatory Notes to heading 9506 clarify that this heading includes equipment for golf, such as clubs, balls, and other equipment like tees. It also includes practice equipment like driving nets or putting mats, provided they are specifically for golf. However, it does not include footwear (Chapter 64) or headgear (Chapter 65) used for the sport. Electronic accessories like GPS rangefinders are also excluded, as they fall under Chapter 85 or 90 depending on their primary technology.

Codes often confused with 9506.39

Common mistake. Golf accessories are often misclassified under 4202.92 if they are bags, but specialized golf bags belong in 9506.39. Another common error is using 9506.31 for accessories that are attached to clubs; however, 9506.31 is strictly for the clubs themselves. Electronic rangefinders are often wrongly placed here instead of 9015.10 (rangefinders).

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).
