The Ski Rocket, item number 68212, and the Jet Towable, item number 68218, have grab handles and separate harness systems for towing. The applicable subheading for the five inflatable plastic water sport products ("Ski Towables") will be 9506.29.0040, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for "Articles and equipment for general physical exercise...Water skis, surf boards, sailboards and other water- sport equipment; parts and accessories thereof: Other...Other."
