Evidence digests
Ozark Trail 2 Person Hiker Tent is a camping tent for two people, sold under the Ozark Trail brand and identified as a hiker or backpacking tent. The tent body, fly, and carry bag are made of durable recycled polyester fabric, specifically recycled poly taffeta, and the poles are color-coded fiberglass. It is a freestanding-style tent with a full rain fly with taped seams, two D-style doors, two vestibules, two storage pockets, and a grommet setup system. The stated capacity is two people, with a covered height of 42 inches and about 10 square feet of extra vestibule storage. It is described as suitable for weekend backpacking and outdoor camping. The principal use is shelter for camping or hiking, and the essential character is that of a two-person tent complete with its fly, poles, stakes, and carry bag as sold. Under a GRI 1 and GRI 2(a) framing, the article is presented as a complete tent rather than an unfinished article, and any included carry bag is a normal accompanying container for the tent.

CBP classified a backpacking tent and rain fly under 6306.22.1000. That closely matches this article, which is also a backpacking tent sold with a full rain fly, making the ruling strong support for the same subheading.
HQ classified a backpacking tent under 6306.22.1000. The article here is likewise identified as a hiker/backpacking tent, so the ruling supports using the dedicated backpacking-tent line rather than the residual other-tents provision.
CBP classified three tents under 6306.22.1000. Although the ruling covers multiple tents, it confirms that comparable camping tents of this type remain in the backpacking-tent provision when their facts fit that use.
This ruling on pop-up tents classified those tents under 6306.22.9030 and discussed the backpacking-tent criteria from T.D. 86-163. It supports the present result by showing that non-backpacking pop-up or shelter-style tents belong in the residual line, while a tent expressly described as a hiker/backpacking tent belongs in 6306.22.1000.
The article is an Ozark Trail 2 Person Hiker Tent: a complete two-person camping/backpacking tent sold with its fly, fiberglass poles, stakes, and carry bag. The authoritative description says it is freestanding, made of recycled polyester fabric with a full rain fly, two D-style doors, two vestibules, and is intended for weekend backpacking and outdoor camping. Under GRI 1 and GRI 6, heading 6306 covers tents, and the subheading structure specifically separates tents of synthetic fibers from other articles. The controlling legal notes are Section XI Note 1(t), which excludes chapter 95 articles but does not remove tents from chapter 63, and the heading text for 6306, which expressly names "tents (including temporary canopies and similar articles)." The product is not a set or unfinished article, it is a complete tent and therefore fits the heading directly. Lookup of 6306.22.1000 confirms the exact provision "Backpacking tents," which matches the importer's own description of a hiker/backpacking tent, so it is less specific. CBP rulings strongly support this result. In N303866, CBP classified a "backpacking tent and rain fly" under 6306.22.1000; that is highly fact-matched because this article is likewise a backpacking tent with a rain fly, and the ruling confirms the current line for this tent type. H250306 likewise classified a backpacking tent under 6306.22.1000, reinforcing that backpacking tents are specifically captured by that subheading rather than the residual "other tents" line. N239224, a ruling on three tents, also assigned 6306.22.1000 and supports the same legal treatment for comparable synthetic-fiber tents used for camping. H311492 is a useful contrast case: it involved pop-up tents from China and classified them in 6306.22.9030, not in the backpacking-tent line. The ruling discusses the backpacking-tent guidelines from T.D. 86-163 and explains that lightweight or portable pop-up tents do not automatically become backpacking tents merely because they are travel-friendly; the tents there were treated as "other tents" because their facts did not satisfy the backpacking-tent criteria. That distinction supports classification here because this article is affirmatively described as a hiker/backpacking tent, not merely a generic pop-up or beach shelter. By contrast, 6306.22.9030 fails because it is the residual bucket for synthetic-fiber tents that are not more specifically backpacking; here, the backpacking use and construction facts take the item out of the residual line under GRI 6. 6307.90.9891 fails because heading 6307 is a basket provision for other made-up articles and is displaced by the more specifically backpacking 6306, which names tents expressly. The product is also not a sun shelter, beach shelter, cabana, or screen house; those CBP rulings illustrate the residual-shelter line for non-backpacking shelter products, but this tent's backpacking intent and features place it in 6306.22.1000 instead.
