Product description
You submitted a sample and photographs of a “NP10-6” 6 volts battery that measures approximately 4 inches in height x 2 inches in thickness x 6 inches in length and its AC adaptor battery charger. The battery has two soldered leads and three plugs, one of which joins with the three-pronged battery charger plug to recharge the battery. The battery is specially designed to fit and power a plastic toy ride-on vehicle for a child. Note 3 to Chapter 95 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) states, in part, that “…parts and accessories which are suitable for use solely or principally with articles of this chapter are to be classified with these articles.” Therefore, since the toy ride-on vehicle depicted in the photographs is classifiable in Chapter 95, HTS, so is the specially designed battery with charger designed to power the toy vehicle.
