Dear Ms. Izzo: In your letter dated December 13, 2012, you requested a tariff classification ruling. The sample submitted, “The Magic Motion Book” is a storybook that consists of durable laminated paperboard pages with colorful illustrations. The front and back pages are molded polypro plastic. The book measures approximately 7" (W) x 8" (H) x 2" (D). “The Magic Motion Book” combines the tradition of a classic storybook with motion based activity. The book will encourage the reader to enhance the story experience by physically moving the book about and interacting on each page to elicit a response. It will respond to shaking, turning the book over and turning side to side. All gauged motions will elicit an audible response. Near the top of the binding the book has a switch for two modes, story mode and explore mode. When switched to the left, story mode is activated. When switched to the right, explore mode is activated. There is also a button near the bottom of the binding. In both modes the story is read aloud and the child is prompted to interact with the book. Story mode responds to the child’s interaction with sound effects. Explore mode responds to the child’s interaction with both sound effects and words. The worded response is generated by the child touching the book. The sample will be retained for training purposes.
