Explanation

Heading 9503 names dolls and other toys, and CBP placed the bears on that heading's line for other toys. The requester proposed that line and CBP agreed.

The bears are decorative figures of polyester fabric with plastic inside the waist, legs and feet so they stand upright. They come with no suggested age range.

Does this apply to your product?

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

  • Is it a decorative bear or similar figure made mostly of polyester fabric?
  • Does plastic inside the body let it stand upright on its own?
  • Is it sold without a suggested age range?

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