Photographs and a description of the “Gund Plush Characters with Plastic or Metal Clip” were submitted with your inquiry. The “Gund Plush Characters with Plastic or Metal Clip” are three plush items; a cat with a plastic clip, a mouse with metal clip, and a pair of apples with a metal clip. All three plush items are constructed from polyester fabric and stuffed with polyester fiberfill. The cat measures 5” x 5” x2”, the mouse measures 2.5” x 3” x 1.5” and the pair of apples measure 4” x 4” x 1.5”. The non-swivel clip is attached to the top of the toy and may be used to hook the product to a backpack, belt loop, zipper, or other such items. The clip is not designed to be a key ring and cannot securely hold metal keys, but rather enhances the play value of the toy since it can be easily manipulated when fastened to another object. The toys are principally designed for the amusement of children ages 5 and older. The applicable subheading for the “Gund Plush Characters with Plastic or Metal Clip” kit will be 9503.00.0073, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for “Tricycles, scooters, pedal cars and similar wheeled toys…dolls, other toys…puzzles of all kinds; parts and accessories thereof… ‘Children’s products’ as defined in 15 U.S.C. § 2052: Other: Labeled or determined by importer as intended for use by persons: 3 to 12 years of age.” The rate of duty will be Free.
