Heading 6601 covers garden umbrellas and similar umbrellas regardless of size, including beach and market umbrellas, as long as they function as umbrellas (a canopy on a central shaft). Very large fixed canopy structures that function more as awnings or tents may fall outside this heading. The key is whether the article is designed and used as an umbrella rather than as a permanent or semi-permanent shelter structure.

A walking-stick umbrella — one that functions as both an umbrella and a walking stick — classifies under heading 6601, which explicitly includes walking-stick umbrellas. A plain walking stick or cane without an umbrella canopy classifies under heading 6602.
