CBP's Ruling

ItemHTS codeCBP's description of the line
Bluey Hide & Seek toy, item # 651946HTS 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

Heading 9503 names dolls, other toys and puzzles of all kinds. CBP placed the figure on the line for other toys that are children's products, labeled or determined by the importer as intended for use by persons 3 to 12 years of age; the letter describes the toy as principally designed for the entertainment of children ages 3 and older.

The letter also notes. The letter notes that imports of the toy may fall under Section 133 of the Customs Regulations if they copy or simulate a registered trademark, trade name or copyright recorded with CBP.

Does this apply to your product?

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

  • Is it a toy figure made to entertain children?
  • Is it a plastic electronic figure that talks or makes sounds during play?
  • Is it made for children ages 3 and older?

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