The sample submitted, identified as "Cissy's Secret Armoire", style 22250, is a doll's trunk composed of an exterior surface of man-made textile materials designed to contain a child's personal effects. The trunk serves the purpose of organization, storage and protection of the articles for which it designed to contain. The interior is fitted with mini hangers, mirror and a seat. The trunk features a carrying handle and a hinged lid. The lid is secured by means of metal lift lock fasteners. Included with the armoire is a pink boa, doll's brush, doll's hand mirror, doll's powder puff with container and doll's perfume sprayer. All the accessories are intended for use with a certain doll in the "American Girl" doll collection. You have indicated that the item is a "doll play station". However, for classification purposes the trunk with accessories are not considered to be a "play station" and will be classified accordingly.
