Photographs and descriptive literature were provided for our review. The merchandise under consideration, item number DB-001, is a plastic playing/trading card deck box with an integrated dice and accessory compartment measuring approximately 4.13” x 4.33” x 6.10”. The product consists of 2 pieces, a rectangular base card-storage compartment enclosed by a decorative fantasy-themed outer shell resembling an irregular rock. Small magnets are incorporated into the construction to secure the deck box when closed. A plastic gold-colored ring-shaped compartment is attached to the top of the deck box having a hollow interior that provides storage for gaming accessories such as dice, counters, or tokens. The exterior of the ring contains decorative lettering. The product is not designed exclusively for one particular trading card game, but rather it can store compatible standard-size cards from various Trading Card Games (TCGs) and Collectible Card Games (CCGs). The card holder is considered to be an accessory of games listed in Chapter 95. In your request, you suggest classification of this product under heading 9504, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). We agree.
