- The bands are exercise equipment for general physical exercise, which places them in heading 9506.
- Latex is the material of the band, and the line covers latex exercise bands.
- The bands are not specified or included elsewhere in the chapter, so the residual heading 9506 applies.
Common mistakes
- Classifying latex resistance bands under 4016 as articles of vulcanized rubber is wrong because the bands are exercise equipment, not general rubber goods.
- Classifying them under 6307 as other made up textile articles is wrong because the bands are latex, not textile.
- Classifying them under 9506.99 is wrong because the bands are general physical exercise equipment, which falls in 9506.91.
