Tariff classification
HTS codes: 9501.00.4000
Headings: 9501
Product description
The first item is a “10” Safety 1st, Mountain Kid” cycle. The product resembles a mini version of a bicycle with training wheels. However, there are distinct differences in the article's construction and size. The cycle is pedal driven, as opposed to chain-driven, its tires are made of hard, blow-molded, plastic and there is no braking system. The pedals are connected to the front wheel, which impedes balancing the cycle without the training wheels. The item is intended for children up to 4 years of age. Unfortunately we are unable to issue a ruling on the “10” Safety 1st, SFX” chain drive cycle without knowing if the product has a freewheeling hub. We could not determine this with the sample provided because the article was inoperable and instructions for assembly were not included. If the necessary information is obtained you may resubmit your request with a working sample. Please include all of the material that we have returned to you and mail your request to U.S. Customs, Customs Information Exchange, Room 437, 6 World Trade Center, New York, NY 10048, attn: Binding Rulings Section. Your samples are being returned.
