HS Code Classification & Duty Analysis: REMOTE CONTROL SHIP
Based on the provided information, here's a breakdown of the HS codes associated with your "REMOTE CONTROL SHIP" declaration, along with duty implications. We'll analyze each code individually to help you determine the most accurate classification.
Important Note: The final HS code determination rests with customs officials. This analysis is for informational purposes and should not be considered definitive.
1. 9503.00.00.71 – Tricycles, Scooters, Pedal Cars & Similar Wheeled Toys; Dolls’ Carriages; Dolls, Other Toys; Reduced-Scale Models; Puzzles – For Children Under 3 Years of Age**
