Walking stick Hs Code

Walking stick harmonized system code

Product Overview Walking sticks classified under HS Code 660200 are defined as crafted implements primarily designed to aid mobility and provide support during ambulation. These products are typically manufactured from materials such as wood, metal, or composite substances, featuring ergonomic handles and shafts of varying lengths, commonly ranging from 80 cm to 130 cm. Processing involves precision shaping, surface finishing, and in some cases, the integration of additional components such as rubber tips or adjustable height mechanisms to enhance functionality and durability. HS Code 660200 encompasses subcategories including ornamental walking sticks, medical support canes, and multifunctional models with built-in accessories. Commercially, these walking sticks serve diverse sectors including healthcare, outdoor recreational activities, and retail markets specializing in mobility aids. Their value proposition lies in combining structural integrity, compliance with ergonomic standards, and aesthetic appeal, positioning them as essential products for both personal use and institutional supply chains. HS Code Classification & Trade Specifications The HS Code 660200 is situated within Chapter 66 (Umbrellas, Sun Umbrellas, Walking-Sticks, Seat-Sticks, Whips, Riding-Crops and Parts Thereof), specifically under Heading 6602 which covers walking sticks and similar articles. The six-digit classification (6602.00) precisely identifies walking sticks, differentiating them from related items such as umbrellas (6601) or whips (6603). Classification under this code is based on the product’s primary function as a mobility aid with physical characteristics conforming to international definitions established by the Harmonized System. Trade considerations include packaging in standardized cartons with protective padding to prevent damage during transport, adherence to moisture control protocols to preserve material integrity, and compliance with International Maritime Organization (IMO) regulations for shipment. Quality standards align with ISO 11199-2 for assistive products and relevant national certifications, ensuring products meet durability, safety, and ergonomic criteria. Documentation for customs clearance must reference this HS Code to facilitate accurate tariff application and regulatory compliance in international commerce.
