Product description
The submitted sample, Item #2003, Dollie On The Go, consists of a plastic African-American doll dressed in a pink and white textile jumper, a pink hat, and white socks and packaged with plastic feeding toys (fork, spoon, dishes), plastic juice and baby food bottles, and a pair of shoes. The doll measures approximately 14” in height and is packaged in a zippered clear vinyl “carrycase” with cardboard lining and plastic sheeting that measures approximately 19” in height x 3-1/2” in width x 12” in length. The carrycase has two wheels and a 12” retractable plastic handle, which allows the carrycase to be pulled along the ground. Although the doll and the carrycase are packed together, the carrycase is not normal or usual packing. Babies are not normally carried around inside luggage. Moreover, while your letter indicates that the carrycase is “not re-useable as a piece of luggage”, in fact, the carrycase functions like any other case used to carry and transport numerous articles. It is of the kind similar to the suitcases of heading 4202. Therefore, the doll and the carrycase will be classified separately.
