Scapicchio BJ’s Wholesale Club, Inc. 25 Research Drive Westborough, MA 01581 RE: The tariff classification of the “58 Piece Playtime Foam Bumper Gelli Mat” from China Dear Ms. Scapicchio: In your letter submitted on February 12, 2021, you requested a tariff classification ruling. Photographs and a description of the “58 Piece Playtime Foam Bumper Gelli Mat,” item number 264975, have been submitted with your inquiry. The “58 Piece Playtime Foam Bumper Gelli Mat,” is designed to provide a space for babies and toddlers to play and learn with colors, pop out numbers and sea creature shapes. The item is comprised of 16 tiles, 16 edges, 22 pop out shapes and 4 corners measuring overall 57.5” x 57.5” x 12mm thick, and weighing 5.46 pounds. The mat can be assembled in either a “Bumper” or a “Flat” layout. The “Bumper” layout is created by linking the edge pieces in an upright position to create a barrier around the perimeter of the mat providing a confined play space. The tiles are designed with specially cut edges that interlock like pieces in a puzzle and can be played with individually or when joined together. Children will derive amusement, and exercise manual dexterity, as they pull out and re-insert the various shapes found within the center of each tile. The play puzzle mat is composed of water resistant EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer foam) and is offered in a gray monochromatic or bright pastel color scheme. The product will be imported and sold in a clear vinyl case with a zipper closure that is sized to hold the tiles. The “58 Piece Playtime Foam Bumper Gelli Mat,” is principally designed for the amusement of children under 3 years of age.
