Product description
The sample submitted is a childrens' "Creative Art" set consisting of a plastic apron, sponge brush, 10 crayons, and water color set. In accordance with GRI 3(b)the factor which determines the essential character will determine the classification of item.

The apron also helps to keep clothing and skin clean. While the other components will be depleted and replaced, the vinyl apron's nature entails durability for reuse. For these reasons, we find that the apron is the component which supplies the set with its essential character.
