Golf clubs, complete sets and individual clubs

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 9506 31 00 (Golf clubs, complete) is not covered by a Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Order and carries no Partner Government Agency clearance requirement at the tariff-line level. Import follows the standard customs procedure: Importer-Exporter Code, bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other articles and equipment under Chapter 95 — including certain sports goods — may attract compliance obligations depending on the specific product and its classification within the chapter.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line applies specifically to complete golf clubs; club parts, heads, shafts, and grips classified separately within Chapter 95 each carry their own classification treatment. Re-classification on customs examination — for instance, if a shipment is found to contain incomplete clubs or components rather than complete clubs — triggers retrospective compliance review and potential detention. Importers should confirm that the goods match the tariff descriptor precisely before filing the bill of entry.
