Classification of golf bags under HS 9506.39
Golf bags are classified under HS code 9506.39. This classification falls within Chapter 95, which covers toys, games, and sports requisites. Specifically, Heading 9506 applies to articles and equipment for general physical exercise, gymnastics, athletics, other sports, or outdoor games. While golf clubs (9506.31) and golf balls (9506.32) have their own specific subheadings, golf bags are categorized under the \"other\" subheading for golf equipment (9506.39). This classification is determined by Note 1(l) to Chapter 42, which excludes specialized sports bags from the general heading for luggage and containers (4202) and directs them to Chapter 95. The design of the bag, which is specifically contoured and featured for carrying golf clubs, reinforces this classification over general-purpose travel bags.

Codes often confused with 9506.39
Common mistake. The most common misclassification for golf bags is HS code 4202.92, which covers general travel bags and containers. However, because golf bags are specialized equipment for a specific sport, Chapter 95 takes precedence. Another error is attempting to classify them under 9506.31 if they are imported containing clubs; however, the bags and clubs should generally be classified separately unless they form a retail set under GRI 3(b).

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).
