Explanation

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

Does this apply to your product?

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

  • Is it a toy set of play food items in a bag, made for children to play with?
  • Are the food pieces made of wood and felt?
  • Is it designed for the amusement of children 3 years of age and older?

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