What decides the code
A dog toy is classified by its material, as a rubber article under 4016.99.20.00 or a made up textile article under 6307.90.75.00.
- Material decides the heading. Vulcanized rubber other than hard rubber goes to 4016.99.20.00.
- Textile material decides the heading. A plush toy of textile materials goes to 6307.90.75.00.
- The article must be for pets. Pet toys are named in both headings, so a toy for children does not fit either line.
Common mistakes
- Classifying a plush dog toy in 4016.99.20.00 is wrong because that line covers rubber articles, not textile ones.
- Classifying a rubber dog toy in 6307.90.75.00 is wrong because that line covers made up articles of textile materials.
- Classifying a pet toy as a children's toy under Chapter 95 is wrong because these headings name toys for pets.
