The cardboard egg holds a miniature Pooh bear with bunny ears holding an even smaller pink and white gingham bunny. Both the Pooh toy and the gingham bunny are stuffed. The sample will be returned as requested by your office. The Cardboard Egg Pooh is not considered a set for tariff classification purposes since the components are not put up together to meet a particular need or carry out a specific activity.
