HS code for wooden toys
Wooden toys usually ship under 9503.00. Here is the full US code, the duty, the customs description to use, and what would make it a different code.
Based on the example: “Wooden stacking toy” (wood, non-toxic paint).
Why this code
A wooden stacking toy made for children's play is a toy, so it falls under the toy heading rather than general wood articles. It is listed for children aged 3 to 12.
Official tariff textTricycles, scooters, pedal cars and similar wheeled toys; dollsʼ carriages; dolls, other toys; reduced-scale (“scaleˮ) models and similar recreational models, working or not; puzzles of all kinds; parts and accessories thereof > “Childrenʼs productsˮ as defined in 15 U.S.C. § 2052 > Other > Labeled or determined by importer as intended for use by persons > 3 to 12 years of age
When it would be a different code
One detail decides it: What age group is the toy labeled or intended for? (Under 3 years / 3 to 12 years / Not labeled / unsure)

Shipping wooden toys to the EU
Use the same 6-digit code, 9503.00. Since 1 July 2026 the EU charges a flat €3 duty for each different type of item in a parcel worth €150 or less, so wooden toys in one order add €3 however many are in the box.
