Toys & Games: tariff refund exposure
Toys, games, and hobby goods are overwhelmingly manufactured in China. Many toy lines carry a 0% base rate but were still subject to Section 301 add-ons and shifting exclusions, so toy importers of record frequently paid tariffs on goods that entered duty-free at the base level, a classic pattern for recoverable exposure.
