What decides the code
An umbrella is classified in heading 6601, with the subheading set by whether the shaft is telescopic or not.
- A telescopic shaft places the umbrella in 6601.91.00.00.
- A straight, non-telescopic shaft places the umbrella in 6601.99.00.00.
- The umbrella must fall within heading 6601 as an umbrella or sun umbrella, including walking-stick and garden types.
Common mistakes
- Classifying a folding umbrella under 6601.99.00.00 is wrong because that line covers umbrellas other than those with a telescopic shaft.
- Classifying a straight umbrella under 6601.91.00.00 is wrong because that line requires a telescopic shaft.
