India origin · HTS candidates
Plush toy import duty from India
Find US HTS candidates for plush toy from India, then check the current MFN and Chapter 99 stack. India-origin goods typically avoid Section 301, but AD/CVD and reciprocal rules may still apply.
Quick answer
6307.90.75.00
At a $10,000 customs value, the current India-origin total rate is about 4.3% ($430).
Classification risk & HTS split
Plush toys fall under HTS 9503.00.00 (Tricycles, scooters, pedal cars and similar wheeled toys; dolls' carriages; dolls, other toys; reduced-scale models). Stuffed plush goes to 9503.00.0073 (US statistical suffix for stuffed toys); plastic-eyed safety, choking-hazard small parts, and CPSC certification apply regardless of HTS subheading. Battery-operated plush with sound or motion routes to 9503.00.0090 with electrical-toy considerations under section XVI parts rules.
India origin context
India's plush toy industry is smaller in scale than China or Vietnam but offers genuine craftsmanship for premium and educational segments, concentrated in Noida, Delhi-NCR, and Tirupur. India-origin plush escapes Section 301 entirely, and MFN under 9503.00 is Free for stuffed toys — making total landed duty often $0 before fees. The bottleneck is shipping economics: container utilization from India is structurally worse than from Yantian, so unit landed cost can still exceed China-origin even with the duty advantage.

FAQ
How do I find the US HTS code for plush toy from India?
Start from the product name or local HS code, anchor on HS6, then compare US HTS candidate descriptions. Plush toy can split after HS6 by material, use, construction, or function; the applicable Chapter 99 overlays differ between India and China origins.
Does India origin trigger Section 301?
Typically no. Section 301 (9903.88.x) is China-origin only. If processing in India does not amount to substantial transformation, CBP can still rule the goods China-origin at entry. AD/CVD, reciprocal, and Section 232 may apply to India independently.
