Explanation

Heading 9503 names dolls, other toys and puzzles, along with their parts and accessories. CBP placed the playset on the line for other toys that are children's products, labeled or determined by the importer as intended for children under 3 years of age; the set is designed for the amusement of children ages 1 to 5.

Does this apply to your product?

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

  • Is it a toy set of animal figures with a case that doubles as a play scene?
  • Are the figures and the case made of plastic?
  • Is the youngest age it's intended for under 3 years?

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