Umbrellas, Walking-Sticks, Riding-Crops & Parts

A standalone umbrella or sun umbrella classifies in heading 6601 regardless of canopy material or handle type. However, when an umbrella is a subordinate component of a larger article — such as a beach chair with an attached parasol — classification follows the essential character of the composite article, which may place it in the furniture or sporting goods chapters. The umbrella must be the principal article to remain in chapter 66.

Yes. Heading 6603 covers parts, trimmings, and accessories for umbrellas and walking-sticks, including frames, ribs, handles, and canopy fabric cut to shape. Canopy fabric not yet cut to shape would remain in the appropriate textile chapter. Importers sourcing components for assembly should verify that each part meets the 6603 description rather than defaulting to the finished-goods heading.
