CBP's Ruling
| Item | HTS code | CBP's description of the line |
|---|---|---|
| Booksy | HTS 9503.00.0073 | Tricycles, 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 agreed with the importer that Booksy is a toy and placed it under heading 9503, which names dolls, other toys and puzzles of all kinds. Within that heading, CBP chose 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 figurine is made of plastic and is designed for the amusement of children ages 3 and older.
The letter also notes. CBP notes that imports of the figurine 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 plastic toy figurine made for children's play?
- Does it open to reveal a small folded comic book inside?
- Is it intended for children ages 3 and older?
A no to any of them can mean a different code. A licensed broker can classify your product.
