Section XX: Miscellaneous manufactured articles · Chapter 95: Toys, games and sports requisites; parts and accessories thereof · Heading 9504: Video game consoles and machines, table or parlour games, including pintables, billiards, special tables for casino games and automatic bowling equipment, amusement machines operated by coins, banknotes, bank cards, tokens or by any other means of payment
Why this code
Board games are table or parlour games expressly covered by heading 9504 (GRI 1). They are not billiards (950420), not coin-operated (950430), not playing cards alone (950440) and not video game consoles (950450; Subheading Note 1). Residual subheading 950490 'Other' therefore applies under GRI 6. Chapter 49 Note 1(c) excludes goods of Chapter 95, so rulebooks or printed boards do not move it to 4901. Board games are not toys of 9503 (except puzzles), nor sports equipment of 9506. Chapters 68 and 97 are irrelevant. Kits with game components fall in 9504 as a whole.
Rules applied: GRI 1, GRI 6, Chapter 49 Note 1(c), Chapter 68 Note 1(l).

Information that would confirm the code
- Is the product a pure card game or a jigsaw puzzle rather than a board game with board and pieces?
- Does it include any electronic or video component with a screen?

Other
Confidence 0.80. The product is a generic board game with no indication of electric car racing sets, so the residual 'Other' national line 9504908000 applies; confidence is reduced because the seller provided only the title and no material, contents or set details.
