Product description
It is a blister card containing six articles described as "Monster Flicker Stickers" (Item 92409). Each of these is a 4 x 5 cm printed sticker depicting a famous movie monster in two humorous, cartoon-like poses, which appear to alternate in the same space when the item is held at different angles. Each sticker is composed of a pressure-sensitive paper back layer which is permanently covered on the front (pictorial) side with a sheet of grooved, transparent plastic that acts as a lenticular screen. Our laboratory finds that the pictures are lithographically printed on the paper portion of the stickers. Overall, the items measure about 0.65 mm in thickness (not including the protective, peel-off "release paper" backing sheets provided).
CBP rationale
The applicable subheading for the "Monster Flicker Stickers" will be 4911.91.3000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other (than certain enumerated) printed pictures, designs and photographs: lithographs on paper or paperboard: over 0.
