Important Considerations & Recommendations:

• Material Composition: The primary material of the rocker (wood, metal, plastic, fabric) is crucial. If it's predominantly wood, codes under 9403 are more likely. If it's a complex electromechanical device, 8509 is more appropriate.
• Functionality: Is it primarily a seat, or is the electric function the dominant feature?
• Target Market: Is it specifically marketed for babies/children?
• Detailed Product Description: A very precise description of the rocker's features, materials, and intended use is necessary for accurate classification.
• Certification: Depending on the final HS code, you may need to provide certifications related to product safety (e.g., for children's furniture) or electrical safety.
• Post-April 2, 2025 Tariffs: Be aware of the increased additional tariffs coming into effect on April 2, 2025.
• Consultation: It is highly recommended to consult with a customs broker or relevant authority to confirm the correct HS code for your specific product. Incorrect classification can lead to delays, penalties, and unexpected costs.
