The Stroller Seat is equipped with an adjustable foot rest, a folding canopy which encloses the front of the stroller, a clear plastic “window” for the child to look out of and a harness strap to secure the child inside the seat. It is constructed of aluminum, plastic, steel hardware and a covering of 100% polyester and measures approximately 1 foot 10 inches high, 2 feet in length and 15 inches wide. The applicable classification subheading for the Stroller Seat will be 8715.00.0040, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for “Baby carriages (including strollers) and parts thereof: Parts”.
