Explanation

Heading 9503 names tricycles and similar wheeled toys, dolls, other toys and puzzles, with their parts and accessories. CBP placed the whole kit on the heading's line for other toys.

The kit is a toy gel pellet gun with its battery, pellets, charge wire and protective eyewear, designed for the entertainment of children ages 14 and older.

Does this apply to your product?

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

  • Is it a toy gun that shoots gel pellets hydrated with water?
  • Does the kit include the gun, a rechargeable battery, gel pellets and protective eyewear?
  • Is it intended for the entertainment of children ages 14 and older?

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