What decides the code
Wooden toys for young children are classified in heading 9503 as children's products, with stacking and puzzle toys for children under 3 years of age under 9503.00.00.71.
- Age labeling decides the subheading. Toys labeled or determined by the importer as intended for use by persons under 3 years of age fall under 9503.00.00.71.
- The article must be a toy for amusement. A wooden stacking ring or puzzle sold for play fits heading 9503.
- Puzzles of all kinds are named in heading 9503, so a wooden puzzle stays in that heading even when it teaches shapes or numbers.
Common mistakes
- Classifying a wooden puzzle under 9504 as a game is wrong. Heading 9504 covers video game consoles and articles for arcade, table or parlor games, and puzzles are named in heading 9503.
- Classifying a wooden stacking toy as furniture or a household article is wrong. It is designed for children's play, so heading 9503 applies.
- Using 9503.00.00.71 for a toy intended for ages 3 and up is wrong. That line is limited to children's products labeled or determined as for use under 3 years of age.
