HS codes for natural pet toys: what we use, and who decides yours
As of November 2026, the code on our export papers for coffee wood chews is 4421.99 at six digits, the heading for other articles of wood. Hemp, coco coir and loofah toys sit under different chapters, and pet beds have no settled code with us yet. The import code, and the duty that follows from it, is decided in your country by your importer or customs broker, so treat this page as a starting point and have your broker confirm every line.

Read this first: we are not your customs broker
Classification is a legal decision made on the import side. We are an exporter in Vietnam. This page lists the codes that appear on our own export documents, explains what the official tariff pages say, and stops there. Where we could not read an official source, we say so. Before you place an order, ask a licensed customs broker in your country to confirm the code for each product.
What an HS code is
The Harmonized System is, in the words of the World Customs Organization, "a multipurpose international product nomenclature developed by the World Customs Organization (WCO)". The WCO says it "comprises more than 5,000 commodity groups; each identified by a six digit code" and is "used by more than 200 countries and economies as a basis for their Customs tariffs".
The six-digit code is the shared part. The EU code on our coffee wood shipments has eight digits; your broker confirms the full code used in your country.
The codes on our export documents
These are the codes we have used on real shipments. They describe how the goods left Vietnam. They do not decide how your customs authority classifies them on arrival.
| Product | Code we use | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Coffee wood chews | 442199 (six digits); 44219999 on EU shipments | Described as a wooden pet toy on our documents |
| Hemp toys | 53082000 | Used on EU shipments; other countries may differ |
| Coco coir toys | 53050022 | Used on EU shipments; other countries may differ |
| Loofah toys | 46021990 | Used on EU shipments; other countries may differ |
| Pet beds | No code settled yet | Ask us per design; your broker classifies |
The eight-digit codes for hemp, coir and loofah are the codes from our shipments to the EU. We do not publish US codes for any of our products.
Coffee wood: why the description matters
On our export documents a coffee wood chew is described as a wooden pet toy, because it is a toy, not food. Send the same wording to your broker, with a photo and the material: coffee wood, cut and dried. We do not publish a US code for coffee wood chews; the full import code is your broker's call.
Hemp, coco coir and loofah: one material, one line
Each fibre has its own code on our papers. Keep them as separate lines on your purchase order, even when they ship together in one mixed order, and tell your broker the material of each line. That way the invoice, the packing list and the broker's entry describe the same goods.
We have not found a published US ruling for a coffee wood, coco coir or loofah pet toy. If your broker finds one, we are glad to see it.
Getting a binding answer in the US
If you want certainty before a large order, US Customs and Border Protection issues binding advance rulings. CBP says a ruling letter "may address the tariff classification or appraised value of merchandise", and its CROSS database is "a database of published rulings" you can search for similar products.
According to CBP's eRulings requirements, "the importing community may submit an electronic request for a binding ruling". The request "must contain a complete statement of all relevant facts relating to the transaction", and can include "Illustrative literature, sketches, digital photographs, flow charts etc." CBP adds: "Generally, the NCSD will issue all such rulings within 30 calendar days of the date of receipt." Delays can occur if a laboratory report or another agency is needed.
We can help with the facts: product photos, material, size table and the description on our documents. Samples are the easiest start: your first 3 are free, you pay the shipping.
Why the code also matters for your certificate of origin
The code appears on the certificate of origin as well as the invoice. For the EU the certificate of origin is the EUR.1 under the EU–Vietnam trade agreement, but not every product qualifies for a certificate of origin, so we confirm it line by line before we quote. We send draft documents for you to check before the originals, on every shipment, so a code your broker wants changed can be fixed at the draft stage. More on the EU set in EU export documents for pet toys.
Import duty is decided by the customs authority of your country. We quote FOB, CIF or DAP, and suggest DAP over DDP so that you keep control of the duty yourself. For the current US position on tariffs, see US tariffs on pet toys from Vietnam.
