The submitted sample, Zillion ATM Machine, is a plastic toy automatic teller machine (ATM) that measures approximately 4 inches in height by 6 3/4 inches in width (at its widest width) by 10 inches in length. The toy operates on batteries that are not included. On the front of the machine is a slot that serves as a bill feeder. Directly below that is a slot for an ATM card (with the user’s own personalized PIN number), and an opening for each type of coin such as pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters. A coin sorter counts and separates the coins by denominations. The machine maintains a running balance of deposits and withdrawals and talks as the user makes these financial transactions. This item is intended as an educational toy that allows a child to have fun saving money while simulating the adult activity of using an ATM.      The applicable subheading for Zillion ATM Machine, will be 9503.90.0080, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), 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."
