Last updated: April 2026 dataFishing rods, hooks, landing nets, butterfly nets, hunting decoys, and related sporting requisites not elsewhere specified share this heading, covering a wide range of materials from carbon fiber rod blanks to monofilament nets and molded plastic lures. The explicit exclusion of collector's items and decoy calls narrows the scope to functional sporting goods. Importers of fishing tackle should be aware that certain net types — particularly those with mesh specifications relevant to commercial fishing — may face additional regulatory scrutiny from NOAA or state fisheries agencies depending on end use.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Recreational landing nets and butterfly nets used for sport or specimen collection classify here. Large-scale commercial fishing nets (trawl nets, seine nets) generally classify under a separate heading for fishing nets made of twine or cordage. The distinction turns on the net's design, mesh specification, and intended commercial versus recreational use.
Decoy calls — devices that mimic animal sounds to attract game — are explicitly excluded and typically classify under headings for sound-producing instruments or toys depending on their construction and mechanism. Only physical decoys (e.g., duck decoys used as visual lures) that are not collector's items fall within this heading.
