HS chapter 95: Toys, games and sports equipment
Section XX — Miscellaneous manufactured articles
Goods classified under this chapter include toys, games, and sports requisites, such as tricycles, dolls, and video game consoles. For example, if you're importing a shipment of children's scooters, you'll refer to this chapter to determine the correct HS code.
To find the appropriate HS-4 code, start by identifying the specific type of toy or game. For instance, if your product is a puzzle, you would look under 9503 for toys and models. Each HS-4 heading narrows down the product category, helping you pinpoint the correct classification.
Next, drill down to HS-6 by checking the detailed descriptions and any relevant notes. For example, if you have a video game machine, you would check 9504 and ensure it fits the description of video game consoles or similar equipment. Pay attention to packaging and end-use to avoid confusion with similar products.
Always confirm national digits that may apply in your country, as they can vary. If you're unsure, consulting with a customs broker can provide clarity on specific rulings or classifications for your products.
