Product description
You are requesting the tariff classification on an item that is described as a Poo-pooing candy dispenser. The toy candy dispenser is constructed of plastic and will be made to represent a variety of characters, such as a reindeer, a pig, a rabbit, a snowman and Santa Clause (the submitted sample). The plastic toy is packaged with candy, and in addition there will be candy refills packaged separately.
