Product description
The submitted article is called the “Starring Me! Fluffy Purse,” item #95503. The product consists of a plastic vinyl purse and the following plastic components: a comb and brush, two hair clips, one mirror, a set of stick-on nails, and two ponytail holders. The purse is made of clear plastic and is elaborately decorated by a two-toned boa trim and imitation fur. The boa surrounds the entire top and bottom edges of the purse. The top of the bag and its handle are also covered with a matching imitation fur. The oval shaped purse opens at the top with a zipper that runs along three sides. The bag and its contents are sold as part of the “Starring Me!” dress-up line of merchandise. Designed for children ages 3 and up, the set is intended for a child to “dress-up” like a glamorous lady in role-play activity. This office finds the overly ostentatious appearance of the child’s purse, in combination with the other “grown-up” styled accessories, will qualify as a toy dress-up set for children’s amusement. When the described goods are imported packaged together as a set for retail sale they are considered a toy set for classification purposes. However, should the components be imported separately, they would not be recognized as toys and would be classified elsewhere in the tariff.
CBP rationale
The applicable subheading for the “Starring Me! Fluffy Purse,” item #95503, will be 9503.70.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other toys, put up in sets or outfits, and parts and accessories thereof.
