What decides the code
Ski goggles are classified as protective goggles under heading 9004, specifically subheading 9004.90.00.90.
- Protective eyewear for the eyes falls in heading 9004, which covers spectacles, goggles and the like, corrective, protective or other.
- Because the goggles are not corrective and not sunglasses, they take the residual subheading 9004.90.00.90 rather than a lens-specific line.
- A ski goggle is a complete goggle with a frame and lens, so it is classified as a finished article, not as a separate part.
Common mistakes
- Classifying ski goggles under 9004.10.00 is wrong because that line covers sunglasses, not protective goggles.
- Classifying ski goggles under 9003 is wrong because heading 9003 covers spectacle frames and mountings, not finished goggles.
- Classifying ski goggles under 9001 is wrong because that heading covers lenses and optical elements, not assembled goggles.
