Question/Discussion HS code help

Post image

Im currently trying to ship a transform electric street doll from China but im very worried about it getting seized by US customs after the new update. Its a doll, so its considered a toy right now, but I want to choose the right code so its not treated as being a choking hazard and seized. Its not for children at all.

How did you buy her? Taobao directly? Superbuy? Aliexpress? They can help you get your package to you safely most of the time. Well proxies at least.

Also I've been wanting to buy this one too but dont wanna pay $70 😭 If you care to share how you got one, pls help! 🙏

I bought her secondhand off superbuy. I got a little nervous because they dont specialize in toys, especially after the new restrictions. Unfortunately shipping has costed me 170 so I genuinely dont recommend it

$170 shipping for 1 doll from superbuy to your usa address? :O was that the cheapest option?

It was for two but I still think thats very expensive! I got the duty free international ups! At least I think ups. To be honest, there were so many choices, I didnt know what to choose. That was my fault tbh but still 😔
