CBP found that the kit's size, construction and marketing show it is designed for use in a limited capacity, as a toy, principally for the amusement of children 6 years of age and older.
Heading 9503 names other toys. CBP placed the kit on the line for children's products that the importer labels or determines as intended for use by persons 3 to 12 years of age.
Does this apply to your product?
It likely does if you can answer yes to each of these:
- Is it a craft kit of stickers, plastic gems and a wax pencil for placing the gems?
- Is it designed for use as a toy, principally for the amusement of children?
- Is it labeled or determined as intended for use by persons 3 to 12 years of age?
A no to any of them can mean a different code. A licensed broker can classify your product.
