HS code for Umbrella ribs: 6603.20
Umbrella frames, including frames mounted on shafts (sticks).
Classification of umbrella ribs under HS 6603.20
Umbrella ribs and frames are classified under HS code 6603.20. This heading specifically covers umbrella frames, including those already mounted on shafts or sticks. The classification is governed by the specific nomenclature of Chapter 66, which separates structural components (frames and ribs) from general accessories. Ribs are the essential structural members that support the canopy, and their classification under 6603.20 is mandatory regardless of whether they are made of steel, fiberglass, or aluminum, provided they are recognizable as umbrella components. This follows GRI 1, as the heading text explicitly mentions frames. If the ribs are imported as part of a complete frame assembly, the entire assembly remains under this code.

Codes often confused with 6603.20
Common mistake. Umbrella ribs are often misclassified under 7326.90 (other articles of iron or steel) or 7616.99 (other articles of aluminum). While the ribs are made of these metals, the specific provision for umbrella frames in 6603.20 takes legal precedence over general material classifications. Additionally, they should not be confused with 6603.90, which is for non-structural accessories like handles or tips.

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).
