- 95: Chapter 95 covers Toys, games and sports equipment.
- 03: Specifically covers wheeled toys, dolls, models, and puzzles.
- Applicability: If the plastic ship model is considered a recreational model (working or not), this HS code is a strong possibility.
- Tax Rate: Base Tariff: 0.0%, Additional Tariff: 0.0%, Post-April 2, 2025: 30%. Total: 30.0%.
-
3926903000: Other articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 3901 to 3914: Other: Parts for yachts or pleasure boats of heading 8903; parts of canoes, racing shells, pneumatic craft and pleasure boats which are not of a type designed to be principally used with motors or sails.
- 39: Chapter 39 covers Plastics and articles thereof.
- 26: Specifically covers articles of plastics.

Important Considerations & Recommendations:
- Material Composition: Confirm the exact plastic type used. Different plastics may have different classifications.
- Functionality: Is the model a static display piece, or does it have moving parts/functions? This impacts whether it's considered a "toy" (9503) or a general plastic article (3926).
- Intended Use: If the model is specifically marketed as a children's toy, HS code 9503 is more appropriate.
- Scale & Detail: The level of detail and scale of the model might influence classification.
- Certification: If classifying under 9503, ensure the model meets relevant safety standards for toys (e.g., ASTM F963 in the US).
- Importer Determination: For 9503000071, the importer needs to determine if the product is intended for use by children under 3 years of age.
It is highly recommended to consult with a licensed customs broker or forwarder to ensure accurate classification and compliance. Providing them with detailed product specifications and images will help them make the most appropriate determination.
