HS Code for Stick umbrellas
Stick umbrellas are classified under HS code 6601.99. This classification is determined by Chapter 66, which encompasses umbrellas, sun umbrellas, walking-sticks, seat-sticks, whips, riding-crops, and parts thereof. Heading 6601 specifically covers umbrellas and sun umbrellas. Within this heading, the system differentiates between garden umbrellas (6601.10) and other types. Subheading 6601.91 is reserved for telescopic (collapsible) umbrellas. Therefore, non-telescopic umbrellas, commonly referred to as stick umbrellas or long-handle umbrellas, fall into the residual category of 6601.99. This code applies to umbrellas with a rigid, non-collapsible central shaft, regardless of the material used for the canopy or the handle.

Common Misclassification
The most frequent misclassification occurs with HS code 6601.91, which is strictly for telescopic umbrellas that can be shortened for storage. Importers also occasionally confuse stick umbrellas with HS code 6602.00, which covers walking sticks and seat-sticks. If the item is primarily an umbrella that happens to be used as a walking aid, it remains in 6601.99. Additionally, toy umbrellas are classified under 9503.00.
