Classification of golf ball under HS 9506.32
Golf balls are classified under HS code 9506.32. This is a specific subheading within Heading 9506, which covers equipment for sports and outdoor games. The Harmonized System provides a dedicated code for golf balls due to their unique construction and standardized use in the sport. Whether the balls are two-piece, three-piece, or multi-layer high-performance balls, they all fall under this classification. The classification remains the same regardless of whether the balls are new, used, or refurbished, as long as they retain the essential character of a golf ball. The technical specifications of golf balls, including their size, weight, and dimple pattern, are regulated by sporting bodies, but for customs purposes, any ball designed and marketed for the game of golf is included here.

Codes often confused with 9506.32
Common mistake. Golf balls are rarely misclassified due to the specificity of 9506.32, but errors can occur with HS code 9503.00 if the balls are part of a toy set for children. Toy golf sets made of plastic for toddlers are classified as toys rather than sports equipment. Additionally, collectors' items or antique golf balls might sometimes be incorrectly filed under Chapter 97, though they generally remain in 9506.32 unless they meet the strict criteria for antiques over 100 years old.

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).
