Dear Ms. Guzior: In your letter dated April 22, 1997, received in this office on April 28, 1997, you requested a tariff classification ruling. You have submitted four samples of accessories to the Snow Village Collections. The first sample is identified as item #52641, Village Animated Ski Mountain. It is made of plastic. This item has the appearance of a snow covered mountain with animated skiers, trees and a shelter area. The skiers are guided along the designated track. This item functions with a two-prong electrical cord. The second sample is identified as item #52644, Village Waterfall. This product is made of plastic. It is designed to give the appearance of a mountain with a waterfall and a lake at the base. There are white patches in various areas to look like snow. A two-prong electrical cord is attached to a pump. The pump has a small plastic tube that allows water to flow through to the top of the mountain. The water exits out of the top of the mountain and flows down to the lake. The plastic mountain and waterfall provide the essential character to this item. The third sample is a Village Revolving Turntable, item #52640. This product is made of plastic. It is a plain white display stand. A two-prong electrical cord is attached for the purpose of producing the revolving motion of the turntable. This item could be used to display anything. The fourth sample is a Village Animated Accessory Track, item #52642. This plastic product measures 38" x 24". It has 18 track adapters that animated figures may be placed on and move around the designated track. This product operates with the attached two-prong electrical cord. Again, it could be used with any figures and is not connected with a particular village scene.
