Overview
This HTS subcategory, 9403.89.60.03, specifically classifies cribs, toddler beds, bassinets, and cradles, as well as play yards and other enclosures designed for confining children. The defining characteristic for inclusion here is the primary purpose of safely housing and confining infants and young children. These items are typically constructed with features to ensure child safety, such as secure railings, stable bases, and appropriate sizing for the age group they serve.
While this category shares a broad parentage with "Other furniture and parts thereof" and specifically "Furniture of other materials, including cane, osier, bamboo or similar materials," it is distinguished by its specialized function. Unlike sibling categories such as 9403.89.60.15 ("Other household") or 9403.89.60.20 ("Other"), which may encompass a wider array of furniture items without the singular focus on child confinement, this heading is reserved for items with a direct and primary application in childcare safety and containment. The materials used, while potentially varied, are secondary to the explicit function of these child-specific enclosures.
As a leaf node within the HTS, this classification does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the classification hinges on accurately identifying the product's intended use as a containment device for children, such as cribs, toddler beds, playpens, and similar structures. Importers should carefully review the product's design and primary function to ensure it aligns with the specific descriptions of cribs, toddler beds, bassinets, cradles, and other child confinement enclosures.
