Last updated: August 2026 dataThe US tariff schedule divides fish hooks into snelled hooks (9507204000)—those pre-rigged with a length of line—and all other fish hooks (9507208000), a distinction that affects both duty treatment and product presentation requirements at retail. Japan and France are notable suppliers alongside China, reflecting the premium-tackle segment where precision-forged hooks from established Japanese manufacturers command significant market share. Importers should note that hook gauge, temper, and point style are the primary commercial differentiators but do not alter classification within this heading. Section 301 tariffs apply to Chinese-origin hooks across these lines.

A snelled hook is one that has been pre-attached to a length of monofilament or other line, typically with a whipped or knotted connection, ready for direct use by the angler. The US schedule separates snelled hooks (9507204000) from other fish hooks (9507208000). Importers should ensure product descriptions and commercial invoices clearly indicate whether hooks are snelled, as misclassification can result in duty discrepancies.
Yes. Heading 9507 covers fish hooks of all configurations—treble, single, circle, octopus, and jig hooks—regardless of wire gauge, coating, or point geometry. The design variations are commercially significant but do not create separate tariff classifications within this heading. The snelled versus unsnelled distinction remains the primary classification split at the 10-digit level.
