HTS heading 9507 is a four-digit product category for recreational fishing and certain hunting or shooting equipment. It groups fishing rods, fish hooks, other line-fishing tackle, fish landing nets and similar nets, as well as decoy birds and similar hunting or shooting equipment. It can also include qualifying parts and accessories for these goods. Items covered by other headings, such as certain musical or historical articles, may be excluded, so the product’s actual features matter.
To reach the correct eight-digit HTSUS code, first identify the applicable six-digit subheading and then review the more detailed U.S. statistical subdivisions. The split may depend on the product’s type, function, construction, or material—for example, whether it is a rod, hook, net, decoy, other tackle, or a part or accessory. Read the full heading, subheading notes, statistical descriptions, and relevant classification guidance rather than choosing solely from a catalog name.
What to check
- Describe the item by its principal function, construction, and components, including whether it is a complete article, part, or accessory.
- Separate fishing rods, hooks, line-fishing tackle, nets, decoys, and other hunting or shooting equipment before comparing subheadings.
- Check whether the product is specifically described in another HTSUS heading or is excluded from heading 9507.
- Review the complete eight-digit descriptions and confirm any material, type, or use distinctions shown in the statistical subdivisions.
- Keep product specifications, photographs, packaging information, and supplier documentation to support the classification; ask a customs broker or seek a formal ruling when the distinctions are unclear.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
