Does this apply to your product?

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

  • Is it a toy hair styling set made for use with a doll?
  • Does a child use it to role play as a hair stylist?
  • Is it designed mainly for the amusement of children?
  • Is it labeled or intended for use by children 3 to 12 years of age?

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