RE: The tariff classification of assorted toys from China

Dear Ms. Chip:

In your letter dated May 1, 2000 you requested a tariff classification ruling for several children’s toys. Each item is packaged in an open “try me” style box and is marketed for age’s 19 months and up, unless otherwise indicated.

Five samples were submitted for our examination. Item #82459 is a “Light ‘N Sound Magical Playhouse” the article is composed of a plastic miniature playhouse and magnetized human figure. When the figure is placed inside any room of the playhouse, a sensor is activated which plays a musical tune and causes certain objects in the room to light up. The unit is battery operated and is designed for children 18 months and over.

The “Chunky Pitstop Raceway,” item #82462, contains the following plastic articles: a structure resembling a pitstop with an overhead ramp, two human figures, two cars, three loose tires and an imitation gas container. The pitstop incorporates a working car lift, pretend lap timer, flip-down track, car wash area, and turn and click buttons.

The “Deluxe Chunky Pitstop Raceway,” item #82465 consists of the following plastic articles: a structure resembling a pitstop with an overhead ramp, a free-wheeling racing rig, two human figures, two cars, three loose tires and an imitation gas container. The pitstop incorporates a working car lift, pretend lap timer, flip-down track, car wash area, and turn and click buttons. The truck has three buttons, which produce horn and revving sounds, as well as, flashing headlights.
