Important Considerations & Recommendations:

• Age Determination: The key differentiator between 9503000071 and 9503000073 is the intended age group. Accurately determine the target age based on the product's design, marketing materials, and safety labeling.
• Material Composition: If the puppet doll is made of textile materials, consider if it might fall under 6307907500 (Toys for pets, of textile materials). While less likely for a standard puppet doll, it's worth checking if the doll is specifically marketed as a pet toy.
• Certification: As these are classified as "Children's products," ensure compliance with all relevant safety standards and regulations (e.g., ASTM F963 in the US). You will likely need to provide testing reports and certifications to customs.
• Importer Determination: The reference data notes "Labeled or determined by importer." The importer is responsible for correctly classifying the product based on its characteristics and intended use.
• Detailed Description: Provide a comprehensive description of the puppet doll to customs, including materials, dimensions, and any specific features. This will help ensure accurate classification.
