Classifying toys, games and sports equipment

Classification of toys, games and sports equipment is comparatively straightforward. These items are defined as:toys designed for children or adultsçequipment for indoor and outdoor games,appliances and apparatus for sports, gymnastics or athletics,many types of equipment and consumables for fishing, hunting and shooting.

As a general rule of thumb, when looking to classify toys, games and sports equipment, bear in mind that:toys are generally under heading code 9503,games are generally under heading codes 9504 and 9505,sports equipment is generally under heading codes 9506 and 9507.

You should take care however to make sure you're using the correct classification, as toys and games may be interchangeable terms for some people. If you cannot find the correct classification in one category, it's a good idea to check the other to make sure.This guide will help you to correctly classify such goods, working through each of the broad categories of toys, games and sports equipment.
