HS Code for Strollers

Strollers, commercially referred to as baby carriages, are classified under HS code 8715.00. This classification is determined by the product's primary function as a vehicle designed for the transport of infants or young children, propelled by a person walking. Chapter 87 of the Harmonized System covers vehicles other than railway or tramway rolling-stock, and heading 8715 is dedicated exclusively to baby carriages and their associated parts. The classification is straightforward because the heading text specifically names the product. This includes various designs such as prams (where the child lies down) and strollers or pushchairs (where the child sits up). The materials used in construction—whether the frame is aluminum, steel, or plastic—do not alter the heading, provided the article retains the essential character of a carriage for children. Furthermore, this code includes the chassis and bodies of such carriages when presented separately, as well as parts like wheels, axles, and handle grips, provided they are identifiable as being solely or principally for use with baby carriages.

Common Misclassification

A frequent point of confusion involves HS code 9503.00, which covers toys. Doll carriages and toy strollers intended for children to play with must be classified under 9503.00, whereas functional strollers for actual infants belong in 8715.00. Additionally, car seats sold separately are classified under 9401.20 (seats for motor vehicles) or 9401.80, even if they can be attached to a stroller frame.
