Last updated: August 2026 dataBoth ice skates and roller skates — whether sold as blade-only or boot-and-blade combinations — classify together here, with the integrated boot-and-skate construction explicitly included to prevent splitting the article across footwear and sports equipment headings. The heading covers hockey skates, figure skates, speed skates, inline skates, and quad roller skates. Importers should note that skate boots sold separately from blades or wheels may reclassify under footwear headings, which carry different duty rates and potentially different country-of-origin marking requirements.

Skate boots imported without blades or wheels attached generally classify as footwear under the appropriate footwear heading, not as skates. The blades or wheel frames would classify separately under their own headings. This split classification can result in different duty rates than an integrated boot-and-skate unit, so importers should evaluate whether pre-assembly abroad is more cost-effective.
Yes — both inline skates and quad roller skates fall within this heading. The classification does not distinguish by wheel configuration. However, at the correlated HTS 10-digit level, subheadings may differentiate by type, so importers should confirm the precise subheading applicable to their specific product.
