What decides the code
A fishing rod is line fishing tackle of heading 9507 and is classified under 9507.10.00.40, the line for fishing rods.
- The article is a fishing rod, a finished piece of line fishing tackle, so it falls in heading 9507 and not in a general article heading.
- It is a rod itself, not a part or accessory, so it takes the fishing rods line 9507.10.00.40 rather than the parts line under the same subheading.
- A rod sold as a component or replacement part for a rod would be entered as a part or accessory of heading 9507, not as a complete rod.
Common mistakes
- Classifying a fishing rod under 9507.90 as other fishing tackle is wrong because the subheading has a dedicated line for fishing rods.
- Entering a fishing rod under a sports equipment heading outside 9507 is wrong because heading 9507 names fishing rods directly.
- Treating a rod as a plastic or composite article by material is wrong because the specific heading for fishing tackle covers it.
