Last updated: August 2026 dataRetail display forms — from simple tailors' dummies to motorized animated window displays — are consolidated under a single 10-digit line (9618000000) in the US tariff schedule. China and Mexico are the leading suppliers, with Italy a notable source for higher-end, fashion-industry mannequins. The heading encompasses both static forms used in garment fitting and automated or articulated displays designed for shop-window merchandising, so the degree of animation or mechanical function does not change the classification.

Yes. The heading explicitly covers automatons and other animated displays for shop window dressing alongside static tailors' dummies and mannequins. Mechanical or electronic animation does not move the article to a different heading, though importers should confirm that the primary function is display rather than a separately classifiable machine.
For mannequins sourced from Italy, importers should ensure commercial invoices accurately describe the material composition (e.g., fiberglass, plastic, wood) and intended retail use, as these details support correct valuation and classification. Italy-origin goods are not subject to Section 301 tariffs, but standard customs valuation rules and any applicable antidumping orders should be reviewed with a licensed customs broker.
