Last updated: August 2026 dataTaiwan and Vietnam are the leading sources of golf balls entering the US market, with Thailand and South Korea also significant — a supplier mix that reflects the precision rubber and surlyn cover manufacturing concentrated in Southeast and East Asia. All golf balls enter under a single tariff line (9506320000), but classification disputes can arise when multi-layer practice balls or foam training balls are presented, as those may be redirected to other ball headings. Chinese-origin golf balls carry Section 301 exposure, making origin verification a routine compliance step for importers sourcing across the region.

Not necessarily. Foam training balls and novelty balls that do not conform to regulation golf ball specifications may be classified elsewhere — for example, under the residual balls heading (950669) — depending on their construction and intended use. Importers should confirm classification with a licensed customs broker when the product deviates from a standard regulation ball.
No — two-piece, three-piece, and multi-layer tour balls all classify under 9506320000 regardless of construction. Layer count and cover material (surlyn, urethane, etc.) are commercial distinctions relevant to pricing and marketing but do not create separate tariff lines under the current US schedule.
