In the hustle and bustle of daily life,toys are not just entertainment tools for children but have also become a fun hobby for collectors and adults to relax.The dazzling array of imported toys adds much color to peoples lives,but when it comes to customs clearance,how to correctly classify and standardize declarations is a crucial issue.Today,lets explore the key points of classifying imported toys and the methods for standardized declarations to ensure smooth customs procedures.

I.Key Points of Toy Classification

There is a wide variety of imported toys,and based on their uses and characteristics,we can classify them under different tariff codes.The specific classification points are as follows:

Figures

Usage Classification: Figures are generally character models,mainly made of plastic,resin,and other materials.Based on their purpose for collection and display,they can be declared under the customs code 9503008900 for regulation.If the figures are intended for children under 14,they must comply with the GB 6675.1~4-2014 Toy Safety Series Standards and bear clear,easily identifiable labels on the product or packaging indicating they are for collection by those aged 14 and above.Such items can be classified as collectibles.

Toys

Tariff Codes: 95.03: Toys include tricycles,scooters,pedal cars,and similar wheeled toys; doll carriages; dolls; other toys; scaled-down (proportionally reduced) models and similar recreational models,whether or not movable; various intellectual toys.Among these,9503.0010 applies to wheeled toys for children to ride (e.g.tricycles,scooters,pedal cars); 9503.0021 and 9503.0029 apply to animal dolls and other dolls,respectively; 9503.0060 applies to intellectual toys; 9503.0083 and 9503.0089 apply to toys and models with power devices and other toys,respectively.
