9403.83.00.02 - Toddler beds, bassinets, and cradles; play yards and other enclosures for confining children

This HTS classification, 9403.83.00.02, specifically covers toddler beds, bassinets, and cradles designed for infants and young children. It also encompasses play yards and other types of enclosures used for safely confining children within a designated area. The primary function of these items is to provide a secure and contained environment for a child, whether for sleeping, resting, or supervised play.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 9403.83.00.01 ("Cribs"), 9403.83.00.15 ("Other household"), and 9403.83.00.30 ("Other"), is crucial for accurate classification. While cribs are also for infant confinement, this specific code focuses on items with distinct characteristics: toddler beds designed for older infants transitioning from cribs, bassinets and cradles offering a more compact and portable sleeping solution, and play yards/enclosures whose primary purpose is containment for active play. The "Other household" and "Other" categories are residual and should only be used when goods do not fit more specific classifications.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories under 9403.83.00.02. Therefore, classification within this code hinges on the precise nature and intended use of the child confinement furniture. For example, a convertible toddler bed that can also function as a daybed would still fall under this code if its primary design and marketing are for toddler use. Similarly, a portable playpen with a mesh fabric construction and collapsible frame would be classified here.
