Product description
, your client. You are requesting the tariff classification on an item that is described as an Enchanted Castle Adventure Play Set. The product consists of a paperboard collector box, an octagonal paperboard book, a thirty five piece puzzle, a four piece disassembled dragon, one die and twenty four medieval paperboard characters with removable plastic bases. The sample will be returned, as requested. The article is considered a set for the purposes of the HTS. However, since there is no obvious essential value of the set, it would be classified as a GRI 3 (c) set as a game because the game classification is the last in numerical order of the competing HTS classification numbers. The proper classification would be in Chapter 95 of the HTS as a game with all its parts in 9504.90.6000.
