Kids' Sparkle Hair Pins from Japan
Kids' sparkle hair pins are child-safe hair pins coated with sparkle or glitter for decorative use in young girls' hairstyles. They are classified under 9615.90.00 as hair pins, not as toys, because the chapter notes exclude articles of Chapter 95 (toys) and the pins serve a hair-styling function.

Import Tips
• Classify sparkle hair pins as hair pins under 9615.90.00, not as toys, to avoid higher duty rates in Chapter 95
• Ensure the sparkle coating is a minor decorative element and does not turn the article into imitation jewellery
• Provide product images to CBSA if classification is questioned
