Product description
You have submitted photographs of two wall and window decorations made of plastic and one actual sample of the "Minnie Mouse" Disney character made of plastic. These items are composed of ethylene vinyl acetate (eva)foam. One of the decorations is designed as planets in space with stars. The other design is made up of cats with colorful flowers. Both of the plastic decorations will have an adhesive strip for attaching the decoration to the wall or a string so it may be hung in the window. Communication with the importer revealed that the "Minnie Mouse" Disney character is not the actual item intended to be imported, but a similar item will be imported, therefore, we are unable to render a classification at this time. It is suggested that you request a binding ruling classification when you have a sample of the actual product that you plan to import.
CBP rationale
