Overview
This HTS classification covers parts and components specifically designed for play yards and other types of enclosures intended to confine children. These items are fabricated from rubber or plastics and are not otherwise specified under more granular subheadings. Examples include plastic frame components, base parts, or connectors used in the construction or repair of portable playpens or safety gates for young children.
This category is distinguished from its sibling, 9403.99.40.05, which specifically addresses parts for toddler beds, cribs, bassinets, and cradles. While both relate to children's furniture, this category focuses on enclosure-type items, whereas the sibling category pertains to sleeping furniture for infants and toddlers. The sibling category 9403.99.40.80 captures all other parts of furniture made of rubber or plastics not otherwise specified, which would include items not directly related to child confinement.
As this is a terminal classification (leaf node), there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this heading relies on a careful assessment of the part's intended use as a component for play yards or similar child-confining enclosures, its construction from rubber or plastics, and its exclusion from more specific provisions.
