Overview
This HTS classification covers "Cribs," specifically those furniture items designed for infants to sleep in. These are typically characterized by high sides and a sleeping surface, intended to prevent a baby from falling out. The material composition of these cribs falls under furniture made of plastics, and more specifically, those constructed from reinforced or laminated plastics.
It is important to distinguish cribs from their sibling categories. Toddler beds, bassinets, and cradles (9403.70.40.02) are for younger or older stages of a child's sleep, with different structural designs and safety features. Play yards and other enclosures for confining children (9403.70.40.03) serve a different primary purpose of containment for play rather than sleep. Other household, office, and general "other" categories within 9403.70.40 are for furniture with broader applications and are not specifically designed for infant sleep.
As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, the focus for classification within 9403.70.40.01 rests on confirming that the article in question is indeed a crib, manufactured from plastic materials that are reinforced or laminated, and is intended for infant sleep. Examples of items that would fall under this heading include standard infant cribs and convertible cribs that, in their initial configuration, function as a crib.
