HS Code 6602Walking-sticks, seat-sticks, whips, riding-crops and the like

What HS code 6602 covers

Heading 6602 is for sticks that a person leans on or sits on, and for whips and riding crops. If you ask what the HS code for walking sticks is, the answer is 660200.

Think of a cane for walking, a folding stick with a small seat, or a crop used on a horse. These all belong here. The words "and the like" mean similar goods go here too. You may also see the same code written as HSN code 6602 in some countries.

Many shippers search for "walking-sticks" with a hyphen and others search for "walking sticks" without one. Both mean the same goods in customs paperwork.

Where 6602 sits in the Harmonized System

The Harmonized System is a code list kept by the World Customs Organization. Most countries use it for customs classification, so a code means the same thing almost everywhere at the six-digit level.

The list works like a tree. At the top is Section XII. Below it is Chapter 66. Below that is heading 6602, and under the heading is the single code 660200. Nothing splits it further, so there is only one code to learn.

Countries may add more digits after the sixth. Those extra digits are national, and they change from one country to the next. The first six digits stay the same.

6602 vs 6601 and 6603: picking the right code

Neighbouring headings are easy to mix up. Use these rules to choose.

A walking stick umbrella is not a walking stick. It is an umbrella that looks like one, and it goes under heading 6601 with other umbrellas and sun umbrellas.

Loose pieces go somewhere else too. A handle or a tip sold on its own is a part, so it is not classified in 6602.

Only the finished stick, seat-stick, whip or riding crop stays in 6602. If you are still unsure, run the product description through the HS code classifier before you file.

• Finished walking stick, seat-stick, whip or riding crop: 6602
• Walking stick umbrella or garden umbrella: 6601
• Parts, trimmings and accessories: 6603
