Product description
The item is comprised of six dolls constructed of wood in a 100% cotton bag. Each doll measures approximately 1” in height and is dressed in brightly colored apparel representing either male or female attire. The bag in which the dolls are kept is a generic drawstring pouch constructed with an outer surface of 100% cotton material. It is designed for the storage, protection, portability and organization of its contents. The pouch has one unlined compartment with a drawstring closure at the top, and is of a durable construction, suitable for repetitive use. The pouch measures about 1.5” (W) x 2.5” (H). The dolls and fabric pouch will be marketed and sold as a set. Due to the independent nature of the dolls and bag, they will be classified separately. The product is not considered a set for tariff purposes since each may be used alone for distinctly different activities.
