Analysis
Subheading 9504.20 covers articles and accessories for billiards of all kinds, within heading 9504. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 4 US tariff lines below it are national.
Every one of its 4 tariff lines is duty-free at the general rate, so classification within the subheading affects statistics and Chapter 99 measures rather than the base duty.
The US splits it as follows: 9504.20.20 for articles and accessories for billiards of all kinds: balls (duty-free), 9504.20.40 for articles and accessories for billiards of all kinds: chalk (duty-free), 9504.20.60 for articles and accessories for billiards of all kinds: tables (duty-free) and 9504.20.80 for articles and accessories for billiards of all kinds: other, including… (duty-free).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Sporting and Athletic Goods Manufacturing (339920). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
