Does this apply to your product?

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

  • Is it a decorative snowman figure dressed in a coat, hat and scarf?
  • Is it made of polyester fabric?
  • Does it lack a recommended age range?

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