Each bin includes and is designed to hold or conceal a plastic or

pedal for opening and closing the lid. These items are floor
standing.
The applicable subheading for the Pedal Bin or Step Can

A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry
documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the
documents have already been filed without a copy, this ruling
should be brought to the attention of the Customs officer
handling the transaction.
