Does this apply to your product?

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

  • Is it a decorative rag doll?
  • Is the body made of fabric and polyester fiberfill?
  • Does it have a weighted bottom so it can sit on a shelf?

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