Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 9503 when importing items like tricycles, scooters, or dolls' carriages. For example, if you're shipping a container of children's scooters, this code will help you classify your goods accurately for customs.
When deciding between HS-6 950300, consider the specific type of toy. If your shipment includes both dolls and pedal cars, ensure you check if they fit under the same classification or if they require separate codes based on their primary function.
The line between toys and models can be tricky. If you're importing reduced-size models or puzzles, confirm that they meet the criteria for classification under HS-4 9503. If they are not working models, they still fall under this heading, but ensure they are not classified as a different type of toy.
