Tariff classification
HTS codes: 9503.80.0000
Headings: 9503
Product description
The plastic unit measures approximately 6-1/2 in height x 10 inches in length x 3 inches in depth. The aquarium has a clear front panel with a picture of a sea bed on the back wall. An opening on top allows one to fill the tank with water and insert five toy plastic fish that contain magnets inside them. The product is battery operated and when turned on, via an on/off switch in the back, the magnets inside the fish respond to rotating magnetic rods inside the aquarium frame, and cause the fish to swim in a seemingly realistic fashion. The product may be hung on the wall or set on a tabletop. In either case, it provides amusement to the viewer in watching the fish move about. Your sample is being returned as requested.
