Toys take a single eight-digit line in the US tariff, 9503.00.00, which covers wheeled toys, dolls, puzzles and scale models, with ten-digit numbers below it for statistics. Its general rate is Free. What sets it apart is the China column: the list we extracted shows None for this line, so Chinese toys avoid the 25 percent lists that hit most consumer goods. The 60-economy duty still applies, which gives $1,250 (12.5%) on a $10,000 value from China and $1,250 (12.5%) from Vietnam. Games are next door in heading 9504. Video game consoles on 9504.50.00 show None, and other games on 9504.90.90 show List 4A: +7.5%, a reminder that one heading can treat neighbors differently. Rates from 2026 HTS Revision 22, read on November 2, 2026.

How the toy line compares
Compare 9503.00.00 with a plastic household article on 3926.90.99, which owes $2,530 (25.3%) of $10,000 from China, against $1,250 (12.5%) for toys. That gap explains why an accurate description matters. A board game, a bicycle for children or a sports item may sit outside 9503: skis take heading 9506, and a child’s bicycle goes to chapter 87.
Ten digits still matter
The rate attaches at eight digits here, but your entry needs ten for statistics. Find them in the lookup.
