What decides the code
A selfie stick is a monopod, so it is classified under heading 9620, specifically 9620.00.70.00 for articles of aluminum.
- The article is a monopod, a single pole that holds a camera or phone, which places it in heading 9620.
- The material is aluminum, which leads to 9620.00.70.00 rather than another subheading of heading 9620.
- The phone holder is part of the monopod, so the stick and mount are classified together as one article.
Common mistakes
- Classifying a selfie stick in 8517 as a phone part is wrong because the stick is a support article, not a component of the phone.
- Classifying it in 9006 or 9007 as camera equipment is wrong because heading 9620 covers monopods by name.
- Classifying it in 7616 as other aluminum articles is wrong because heading 9620 specifically covers monopods.
