What is the HTS code for a fidget popper keychain?

HTS code

9503.00.0073

CBP classified a bear-shaped fidget popper on a metal keychain under HTS 9503.00.0073 in ruling N341753. That line covers other toys labeled or determined by the importer as intended for children 3 to 12 years of age. CBP found that the toy popper gives the item its essential character, so the whole item is classified as a toy.

The Product

  • A bear-shaped fidget popper made of polypropylene, about 2 inches long, attached to a metal keychain.
  • Pressing the two circles on the bear pops them up and down for repeated manipulative play.
  • Principally designed for the amusement of children ages 3 years and older.
  • Sold 16 to a gusset bag, each popper inside a plastic heart-shaped capsule.

CBP's Ruling

ItemHTS codeCBP's description of the line
Red & Pink fidget bear popper/keychainHTS 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 treated the item as a composite good: a toy fidget popper joined to a metal keychain. The popper alone belongs in heading 9503, toys; the keychain alone falls under a different heading. No single heading covers both, so General Rule of Interpretation 1, which classifies goods by the words of the headings and notes, could not settle it.

CBP turned to GRI 3(b), which classifies a composite good by the component that gives it its essential character. CBP found the toy popper is that component, so the item is a toy. The heart-shaped capsule is packaging classified with its contents.

The line covers other toys the importer labels or determines as intended for ages 3 to 12; the popper is for ages 3 and older.

Does this apply to your product?

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

  • Is it a toy fidget popper attached to a keychain?
  • Is it made for play by pressing pieces that pop up and down?
  • Is the popper made of plastic?
  • Is it labeled or intended for children ages 3 years and older?

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