Explanation
CBP placed the doll under heading 9503, which names dolls and other toys, on that heading's line for other articles. The doll is a decorative rag doll with a body of fabric and polyester fiberfill and a gravel-weighted bottom that lets it sit on a shelf.
The request proposed subheading 9503.00.0090, and CBP agreed.
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.
