CBP's Ruling

ItemHTS codeCBP's description of the line
Go Glam U-Nique Nail SalonHTS 9503.00.0073Tricycles, scooters, pedal cars and similar wheeled toys…dolls, other toys…puzzles of all kinds; parts and accessories thereof… ‘Children’s products’ as defined in 15 U.S.C. § 2052: Other: Labeled or determined by importer as intended for use by persons: 3 to 12 years of age

Explanation

CBP found that the kit's primary use is that of a toy. The letter points to the quality of the goods and the way they're sold. Children use the kit to decorate their own nails and to play at running a nail salon, and it's principally designed for their amusement.

Heading 9503 names other toys, and CBP placed the kit on the line for children's products labeled or determined by the importer as intended for ages 3 to 12; the kit is designed for children 8 and older.

Does this apply to your product?

It likely does if you can answer yes to each of these:

  • Is it a nail decorating kit made for children's play and amusement?
  • Do its quality and the way it's sold show its primary use is as a toy?
  • Does it let children decorate their own nails and role-play as a nail salon operator?
  • Is it intended for children between 3 and 12 years of age?

A no to any of them can mean a different code. A licensed broker can classify your product.
