Product description
You submitted a sample of an “EyeSpyBag” (no item number), which is a red, blue orange, and purple square soft fleece bag that measures approximately eight inches on all sides. In the center of the bag is a clear vinyl diamond-shaped “window” that measures approximately 5-1/2” from point to point. This “window” allows viewing of 50 miniature toys (people, animals, vehicles, musical instruments, balls, assorted geometric shapes, etc.) that are hidden among filler made of plastic resin pellets. Accompanying literature suggests that the bag is an educational toy by which a child will derive amusement by finding and identifying the hidden objects. However, a child will also be amused by the bright colors and manipulating the bag in their hands whether any actual learning takes place.
CBP rationale
The applicable subheading for the “EyeSpyBag” will be 9503.90.0080, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for “Other toys; reduced-size ("scale") models and similar recreational models, working or not; puzzles of all kinds; parts and accessories thereof: Other: Other.
