Harmonized System. A system set out in a systemized form coding, designations and description of goods including their payable customs duties.
Car Seats Gate-Checked or Checked as Luggage. Car seats are designed to withstand most motor vehicle crash forces. In general, the MACPS does not consider a gate-checked car seat or a car seat that is checked as luggage to be one that has experienced forces equivalent to a motor vehicle crash.
Gate-checking the carseat should be encouraged if and when it isnât possible to use it on board the aircraft for the child. If nothing else, a gate-checked seat is much less likely to be lost than a seat that was checked with luggage. I appreciate that the MACPS has taken the time to address the issue.
