Garren Star Asia Customs, Trade and Security 208 Church Street Decatur, Georgia 30030 RE: The tariff classification of “2024-2025 Kids Workshop Monthly Kits” from China and Thailand Dear Ms. Garren: In your letter submitted on August 18, 2023, you requested a tariff classification ruling. Photographs and descriptions of five “2024 Kids Workshop Monthly Kits” were submitted with your inquiry. The “2024 Kids Workshop Monthly Kits” are comprised of a series of thirteen different children’s educational activity kits which are introduced at the beginning of every month. The products are intended to be purchased and built in a retail store setting to promote an enjoyable and educational activity for young children with adult supervision. Each craft kit includes an instruction sheet, a paper insert labeled “Workshop Extension Activity” suggesting additional ways to utilize the completed craft kit, and a completion certificate to promote a sense of accomplishment for the child completing the project. The five kits under consideration for this ruling refer to the crafts to be provided in the months of July through November 2024. July’s kit, item number 71182, is a “Soccer Game Kit.” The completed kit resembles a miniature foosball game. The kit contains MDF wood pieces, assembly hardware, a sticker sheet, a plastic ball, and two EVA foosball figures. August’s kit, item number 71183, is a “Whiteboard Kit.” The completed kit forms a whiteboard on a stand with a ledge to place the whiteboard marker. The kit contains MDF wood pieces, a sticker sheet, a whiteboard marker, and assembly hardware. September’s kit, item number 71184, is a wooden “Field Goal Game Kit.” The completed kit resembles a football field with a goal post at one end. The kit contains wooden pieces, a sticker sheet, a plastic football, and assembly hardware. October’s kit, item number 71185, is referred to as a “Fire Rescue Kit.” The completed kit forms a miniature wooden fire truck. The kit contains MDF wooden pieces, a clear plastic sheet, a plastic wheel and peg, and assembly hardware. November’s kit, item number 71186, is a wooden “Pumpkin Tic-Tac-Toe Kit.” The completed kit features a miniature wooden replica of a tic-tac-toe playing board. The kit includes 9 round slots that can house 5 round red and 5 round white playing pieces. The kit contains MDF wood components, a sticker sheet, and assembly hardware. By following the enclosed instructions in each kit, children 5 years of age or older will derive amusement creating and building their own do it yourself projects. In each case, the craft kit’s amusement value is greater than the utilitarian value of the finished article. As assembled, the completed items will be flimsily constructed and, in all likelihood, will not be used over a long period of time. You suggest classification of the aforementioned “2024 Kids Workshop Monthly Kits” as toys under 9503.00.0090, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).
