Product description
You submitted two dress-up trunks, which meet the flimsy, non-durable requirements for classification within Chapter 95 and are being returned upon your request. Item 87389, Dora The Explorer Dress Up Trunk, is a set that consists of a trunk, three shirts (yellow, purple and green), three matching skirts, a tiara, two pairs of plastic shoes, a wand, three plastic bracelets, a pair of wings and a hat. The cardboard trunk is a paper box with paper hinges and decorated with colorful graphics that depict Dora and covered by a paper sheath depicting little girls wearing the articles inside the trunk. The trunk measures approximately 10” in width x 14” in length x 7” in depth, and does not have handles. Although all the garments have either a styling feature or well-made embellishment(s), the preponderance of their elements is overwhelmingly flimsy, and imparts the essential character of the item.
