    Detailed information for HTS Code 9504.30.00

    This tariff classification falls within Chapter 95, which covers toys, games, and sports equipment. Code 9504.30 specifically covers coin-operated games, like arcade machines, pinball machines, and other amusement devices that aren’t automatic bowling equipment, as well as their parts and accessories. Further subdivisions categorize these games into video game consoles, pinball machines, other games, and parts/accessories, so select the suffix that most accurately reflects the specific item being classified; for example, use .10 for video consoles, .20 for pinball machines, .40 for other games, and .60 for parts and accessories. Statistical suffixes are used to further refine the classification based on the type of game or component, so choosing the correct suffix is important for accurate data collection.
