Last updated: August 2026 dataAustria leads US imports of snow skis and snowboards under this heading, reflecting the country's deep manufacturing heritage in alpine ski production, with China and Bulgaria also significant sources. The heading covers cross-country skis (9506112000), snowboards (9506114010), other alpine and downhill skis (9506114080 and 9506115000), and parts and accessories excluding poles (9506116000). Snowboards and high-performance alpine skis are often subject to detailed technical specifications — core material, camber profile, and binding-mount pattern — that can affect both classification and valuation when components are imported separately from finished boards.

No. The US schedule separates snowboards into their own line (9506114010), distinct from other snow skis (9506114080 and 9506115000) and cross-country skis (9506112000). Importers must classify each product type individually, as the lines may carry different duty rates.
When bindings are permanently mounted on skis and imported as a functional unit, CBP generally classifies the complete article as skis under 9506.11, with the binding considered an accessory of the ski. However, if bindings are imported separately, they fall under 9506.12. Importers should document the condition of goods at time of importation to support the correct classification.
