Explanation
Heading 9506 names articles and equipment for general physical exercise, gymnastics, athletics and other sports. CBP placed all five Stepr models on the line for articles and equipment for general physical exercise, gymnastics or athletics.
The models differ in height, top speed, step size and console. CBP found that despite those differences, all five are designed to be used as articles and equipment for general physical exercise.
Does this apply to your product?
It likely does if you can answer yes to each of these:
- Is it a stair climbing machine used for exercise?
- Does it give the user a cardiovascular workout?
- Is it designed to be used as equipment for general physical exercise?
A no to any of them can mean a different code. A licensed broker can classify your product.
