A sample of the Fisher Price “Precision Planet 2-in-1 Projection Mobile,” item number N8849, was submitted with your inquiry. The product consists of a projection mobile, 4 plush animals that dangle from the canopy, a remote control and a crib adaptor. The base unit contains the music module, the mechanisms which allow the mobile to spin and the projector which shines an image onto the inside of the canopy to bring the light show closer to the baby. The projector projects a single, fixed image onto the canopy. The mobile, which attaches to various types of cribs, plays 20 minutes of music such as classical lullabies from Bach, Beethoven and Mozart, nature sounds and heartbeat sounds. The base unit allows for various settings such as “sound, mobile, and projector,” “sounds only,” etc. As the infant grows, the mobile can be removed, leaving only the base unit. The item operates on four “D” batteries and the remote, which can be used to activate the music and motion without disturbing the infant, uses 2 “AAA” batteries. The item is designed to amuse an infant while also helping the baby learn to focus and support visual development. The sample will be returned as requested. The applicable subheading for the “Precision Planet 2-in-1 Projection Mobile” will be 9503.00.0080, HTSUS, which provides for “Tricycles, scooters, pedal cars and similar wheeled toys…dolls, other toys…puzzles of all kinds; parts and accessories thereof…Other.” The rate of duty will be free.
