Chapter 95 covers toys, games and sports requisites; parts and accessories thereof: from children's toys to sporting goods and gaming equipment. Toy safety regulations (lead content, choking hazards) commonly apply on top of the base customs classification. Classification tip: Toy safety testing (small-parts, lead paint, flammability) is typically a separate compliance regime from the HS code itself, and non-compliant toys can be seized at the border even with a correctly declared classification.

The wording above is the Harmonized System nomenclature as published by the World Customs Organization, HS 2022 edition. It is a classification reference, not a tariff: it carries no duty rates, and it stops at six digits — the importing country adds its own beyond that.
Classification is decided by the General Rules of Interpretation and the section and chapter notes, and it is the importing country’s customs authority that makes it binding.

Heading 95.06 covers gymnastics, athletics, other sports (including table tennis) or outdoor games equipment, n.e.c. in this chapter, swimming pools and paddling pools. It is part of chapter 95 (toys, games and sports requisites; parts and accessories thereof), and it is subdivided into 17 six-digit subheadings — the level you actually declare.
Pick one of the 17 subheadings below. Those six digits are what customs recognises internationally; the importing country may extend them to eight or ten in its own tariff schedule.
The General Rules of Interpretation, read together with the notes to Section XX and to chapter 95. A description that reads right is not enough on its own — the notes routinely pull goods out of the chapter they obviously belong to and put them somewhere else. Where duty or licensing turns on the answer, ask the importing country’s customs authority for a binding ruling.
A wrong or missing code is one of the common reasons customs holds a container, and a hold shows up as a milestone that stops moving. Watch for it in the container tracking app, on the air waybill in the air cargo tracker, or through the tracking API.
