Division 09 : Recreation, sport and culture
Division 09 includes a wide range of goods and services related to recreation, sport and culture structured into eight groups:
(a) Recreational durables: photographic and cinematographic equipment and optical instruments;
and major recreational durables such as camper vans, boats, yachts and aeroplanes (group 09.1)
(b) Non-major durable recreational goods, such as games and toys, including video game computers and celebration articles; and sporting, camping and open-air equipment (group 09.2)
(c) Garden products, plants and flowers; pets and products for pets (excluding veterinary services)
(group 09.3)
(d) Recreational services: rental, maintenance and repair of goods classified under division 09;
veterinary and other pet services; games of chance; and recreational, sporting and leisure services, such as those provided by amusement parks, as well as fees for participation in sports competitions and for admission to sporting events (e) Cultural goods, such as musical instruments and audiovisual media (group 09.5)
(f) Cultural services ( 09.6), such as those provided by cinemas, theatres and concert venues and by museums libraries and cultural sites; and photographic services (group 09.6)
(g) Books, newspapers and periodicals, in both printed and electronic format; and stationery and drawing materials (group 09.7)
(h) Package holidays, which bundle services such as transportation, accommodation, provision of food, and excursion tours including tour guides (group 09.8). The fact that expenditure on package holiday services cannot be broken down into the separate expenditures on each kind of service led to the creation of a separate package holiday category. Neither the duration of the package holiday nor whether the holiday destination is within or outside the home country is taken into consideration.
