What decides the code
Swim goggles are classified as goggles under heading 9004, specifically in subheading 9004.90.00.90 for other goggles.
- The article is a pair of goggles worn over the eyes, which places it in heading 9004 rather than in a heading for sporting goods.
- The goggles are not corrective and not protective eyewear, so they fall to the residual subheading 9004.90.00.90 for other goggles.
Common mistakes
- Classifying swim goggles under 9506 as swimming equipment is wrong because heading 9004 covers goggles by name.
- Classifying swim goggles under 9004.10 as sunglasses is wrong because they are not sun or glare glasses.
