Tariff classification
HTS codes: 9501.00.4000
Headings: 9501
Product description
The skateboard is designed for children age 4 and up as an introduction to the sport of skateboarding. The skateboard features three staged settings (beginner, intermediate and advanced) where the wheels are adjusted for limited speed and range of motion. Stabilizers that assist in balancing may also be adjusted as one progresses in skill. Given the skateboard’s construction with plastic wheels, textured nonskid surface and locking features, it does not qualify for classification as a real skateboard but rather is viewed basically as a toy for amusement purposes. Your sample is being returned as requested.
