What determines the tariff number?
- Operating mechanism. Mechanically operated toys are classified differently from electrically powered or battery-operated variants. This distinction is central to determining the correct HS code.
- Material composition. Toys made from wood, plastic, metal, or other materials fall into different tariff categories. Material is a key driver of classification.
- Intended use. The distinction between pure toys, board games, sports equipment, and entertainment articles results in different HS codes – the primary use of the item is decisive.
