Features of customs clearance of toys

Product code

Toys belong to product group 95, with most of them under code 950300….

ATTENTION! We work only with legal entities.

The import duty rate varies depending on the country of origin, type of product and its characteristics. For example, the duty may be 0% or 7.5% for dolls (9503002100). Dolls are imported duty-free from CIS countries, free trade zone states and countries enjoying preferences, but the customs inspector must be provided with a certificate of origin of the product, respectively, form ST-1, A or ST-2. A 7.5% duty applies to all others. VAT for the same product code is:

0% - if the toy is intended for disabled people for their rehabilitation or prevention of disability;
10% - for children, depicting only people;
20% - other dolls.

And so for each product code different rates of customs duties are possible..

Features of customs clearance

The cargo of private organizations that import it for the purpose of sale is studied especially closely. To avoid increased attention from the customs inspector, you must:

pack toys in accordance with requirements, not forgetting about labeling;
fill out the declaration correctly;
deliver the goods to the customs territory according to the announced deadlines;
carefully check the accuracy of all information provided.

The process consists of preliminary and main stages. You must first determine the HS code, then submit a request for a declaration and prepare all accompanying and permitting documents. The main work consists of checking the information by the customs inspector in the submitted documents, checking the presence of all necessary papers, and inspecting the cargo and vehicle.

Due to increased safety requirements: chemical, mechanical, fire, noise safety, it is necessary to confirm the quality of products with appropriate certificates. If toys are produced by a well-known brand, the manufacturer usually has already taken care of the availability of the necessary papers and included them in the list of accompanying documents.

When importing branded goods, for example Lego, Barbie, Baby Born, customs often require a letter from the copyright holder with permission to import. Its presence also allows you to make sure that the product is not a counterfeit.

Toys intended for children (up to 3 years old) must have:

special markings;
instructions in Russian;
additional recommendations for baby development.

HS codes: 9503008100 - 9503008900

Certification

Before submitting the declaration and other documents, i.e. Before customs clearance begins, it is necessary to resolve the issue of product certification. If toys are intended for children of preschool or primary school age, they must undergo a certification procedure. A TR certificate of conformity is issued for them, confirming compliance with chemical, fire, environmental and mechanical safety standards. It contains the following information:

preparation method;
form of execution;
materials used;
marking.

First, documents are submitted to the certification center, including company details, and an application is completed. Then studies are carried out, on the basis of which a laboratory test protocol is formed. Based on the results of the protocol, if no violations are identified, a document is issued on compliance with state standards.

Note! The certificate of conformity is valid for a limited time.

In addition to the certificate of conformity, the declarant must provide environmental and fire certificates, and a certificate of state registration.

Transportation methods

Transportation of toys can be carried out by any means of transport: air, sea, road, rail or multimodal, but the type of cargo and its characteristics, the method of packaging (must protect from external influences) must be taken into account. Toys can be:

soft-stuffed;
manageable;
transport;
manual;
developing.

Plastic toys do not withstand mechanical stress, so their transportation must be carried out with appropriate precautions. In addition, at sub-zero temperatures, plastic becomes brittle, and at significant positive temperatures it is easily deformed, so during transportation it is necessary to maintain an acceptable temperature regime.

Soft toys do not lose their consumer properties at sub-zero temperatures and in hot weather, but they absorb moisture from the air or in direct contact with water, which causes a musty smell, so soft toys are transported in polypropylene bags. If the toys are large, suitable boxes are selected for them or wrapped in wrapping paper.
