The B suffix in the article description stands for the color brown. The above article may also be imported with the suffix N. N stands for the color neutral.

All of the articles will be sold to hobby or craft stores and will be used to easily create either stuffed dolls or animals by filling the articles with stuffing material and embellishing them with pre-made components.

This classification is free of duty.

The same classifications apply for articles with a suffix N.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction.
