Product description
The merchandise subject to this ruling is a vinyl magnetic dog housebreaking and training pad holder. The vinyl magnetic holder is utilized to train a dog to be housebroken. You have provided a sample for classification purpose. The sample is being returned as per your request. The vinyl magnetic dog housebreaking and training pad holder consists of a piece of vinyl with two rows of hard (non-flexible) magnets on the top and bottom of the vinyl along its perimeter. The portion of the vinyl containing the top row of magnets opens out to allow a training pad to be placed on top of the vinyl. When the magnetic portion containing the top row of magnets is folded over the training pad the top and bottom rows of magnets create a bond, thus holding the training pad in place to prevent any movement of the pad. There are no training pads imported with the vinyl magnetic dog housebreaking and training pad holder. The magnets are an integral part of this merchandise. The absence of the magnets would render the merchandise incapable of holding the training pad in place as intended.
