Samples of the “Ghost Face Pocket Screamers with Light and Sound,” item number 91716, were received with your inquiry. This assortment contains three styles of characters and each is constructed of a soft, squeezable plastic. The first character is called “White Face with Black Robe.” It measures 4½” in height, as do all three characters, and when it is squeezed the face lights up and it emits a scary combination scream and howling sound. The second and third characters are identified as “Bone Face with Black Robe” and “All Brown,” respectively. They both respond exactly the same as the previous style, when squeezed. One sample will be retained for reference purposes. The applicable subheading for the three “Ghost Face Pocket Screamers with Light and Sound” will be 9503.00.0085, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for “Tricycles, scooters, pedal cars and similar wheeled toys…dolls, other toys…puzzles of all kinds; parts and accessories thereof…Other: Labeled for use by other persons.” The rate of duty will be free.
