It contains a squeaker that squeaks when squeezed. The applicable subheading for the plush reindeer pet toy will be 6307.90.9889, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for other made up textile articles, other. The rate of duty will be 7% ad valorem. In your letter you suggest classification in subheading 9503.41.0000, HTSUS, which provides for “Toys representing animals or non-human creatures (for example, robots and monsters) and parts and accessories thereof: Stuffed toys and parts and accessories thereof." However, according to Chapter 95, Note 4, Chapter 95 does not cover pet toys; if of textile, they are specifically provided for in heading 6307.
