Generally yes — trekking poles and hiking staffs function as walking sticks and are classified under 6602000000 when imported as standalone articles. However, if a pole is designed primarily as a component of a larger system (e.g., a tent pole), classification may shift. The primary intended use at importation governs.
A seat-stick (also called a shooting stick) is a walking stick that converts into a small portable seat by unfolding a hinged seat at the top. It is classified here because its primary function is as a walking aid with an integrated seat, not as furniture. Importers of combination articles should confirm that the walking-stick function is primary to support classification under 6602.
