Last updated: August 2026 dataSubject to Section 301 tariffs when sourced from China, this broad heading covers stationary fitness equipment—exercise cycles (9506910010), rowing machines (9506910020), and other gymnasium apparatus (9506910030)—along with their parts and accessories. China dominates US import supply, with Taiwan and Vietnam serving as secondary sources; the concentration of manufacturing in China makes Section 301 exposure a central cost consideration for importers and distributors. Buyers sourcing from Vietnam or Mexico should verify that components and substantial transformation requirements are met to support origin claims. Classification disputes often arise between this heading and Chapter 84 machinery provisions when motorized drive systems are integral to the equipment.

The key distinction is principal function: equipment designed primarily for physical exercise or sport falls under heading 9506, even if it incorporates a motor (e.g., a treadmill belt drive). Chapter 84 applies when the mechanical or electrical function is the primary purpose. CBP rulings on specific products—particularly motorized treadmills and ellipticals—should be reviewed before filing, and a licensed customs broker can help assess the correct heading.
Yes. Goods classified under the 9506910010 (exercise cycles) and 9506910020 (rowing machines) tariff lines sourced from China are subject to Section 301 tariffs. Importers sourcing from Vietnam or Taiwan are not subject to Section 301, but must ensure accurate country-of-origin documentation to support that classification.
