U.S. imports of fishing rods, parts & accessories (HS 950710) totaled $13.0M in August 2026, imported from 34 countries.
Importers of Fishing Rods, Parts & Accessories paid $1.6M in duties in August 2026, an effective tariff rate of 11.98% of the $13.0M imported — duty actually collected as a share of that value, not the published tariff schedule. Fishing Rods, Parts & Accessories imports of $13.0M in August 2026 ran 32% below the year-to-date monthly average of $19.3M.
Last updated: August 2026 dataFishing rods and their components enter the US under two 10-digit lines—complete rods (9507100040) and parts and accessories (9507100080)—a split that matters because blanks, guides, and handles may be classified separately from finished rods. China is overwhelmingly the leading supplier, with Vietnam and Taiwan also contributing meaningfully to import volume; goods of Chinese origin are subject to Section 301 tariffs, making sourcing diversification an active concern for tackle importers. Rod blanks made from carbon fiber or fiberglass composites are a common classification edge case, as they may alternatively be considered composite articles under other chapters depending on their state of finish. Importers should retain manufacturer specifications to support the correct heading at entry.

Whether a rod blank falls under heading 9507 or a materials chapter depends on its degree of finish and recognizability as a fishing rod component. CBP generally classifies blanks that are clearly shaped and tapered for use as fishing rod components under 9507; however, raw carbon fiber tubes without fishing-specific shaping may be classified under Chapter 68 or 39. A binding ruling from CBP is advisable for high-volume blank imports.
For rods assembled in Vietnam using Chinese-origin blanks or components, the substantial transformation test applies. CBP has found that assembly alone—attaching guides and handles to an imported blank—may not constitute substantial transformation, meaning the rod could still be deemed Chinese-origin for tariff purposes. Importers should obtain a CBP ruling or consult a licensed customs broker before relying on a Vietnam-origin claim.
