Overview
HTS code 9401.71.00.08 specifically covers stationary activity centers designed for children. These are multi-functional play structures that typically feature a base or frame allowing a child to stand or sit within a secured area, with various interactive toys, activities, and sometimes a rotating seat. The emphasis is on providing a contained, stimulating environment for infants and toddlers to explore and play while remaining stationary.
This classification is distinguished from its siblings by its inherent design as a stationary play station. For example, while sibling categories include infant walkers (9401.71.00.05) which are designed to aid mobility, or children's swings (9401.71.00.07) intended for a pendulum motion, this category focuses on units where the primary function is providing a stable platform with integrated activities. Highchairs and booster seats (9401.71.00.01) are primarily for feeding, and bouncers (9401.71.00.06) offer a more limited bouncing motion.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories under 9401.71.00.08. Therefore, classification within this code relies on the precise definition of a "stationary activity center" as a piece of furniture with a metal frame, upholstered elements, and a purpose-built design for stationary child activity and play.
