Product description

The Deluxe Kiddie Tugboat (Item #943112) is an inflatable boat-like float with built-in seat for use by a child in a swimming pool. It is composed of unsupported polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic sheeting. The boat, which can hold one young child, measures 25 inches by 32 inches. It has a horn and steering wheel, though the steering wheel is only for the child to hold, since it cannot be used to steer the boat. The child’s legs extend into the water through two openings in the bottom of the boat. There are two plastic handles on the sides of the boat for an adult to maneuver the boat and to hold it steady to ensure the child’s safety. The inflatable is not designed to amuse the child but to allow the child to sit in the water in a pool. As you requested, the sample will be returned.

CBP rationale

The applicable subheading for the Deluxe Kiddie Tug Boat will be 3926.90.7500, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUSA), which provides for other articles of plastics, pneumatic mattresses and other inflatable articles, not elsewhere specified or included.
