Bicycle helmets (road, MTB, urban) meeting EN 1078 or CPSC safety standards are classified under 6506.10 as safety headgear. Motorcycle helmets are also 6506.10.10 but at a different subheading. Ski helmets, climbing helmets, and equestrian helmets are all 6506.10. The CE marking (EN 1078) or CPSC certification affects market access but not HS classification. Helmet visors and replacement padding are parts and accessories classified under 6507. Aerodynamic time-trial helmets with integrated visors are still 6506.10 — the visor does not re-classify them.
