The boards will be imported without the game pieces. The proper classification will be in Chapter 95 of the HTS as parts of games played on boards of a special design. You have not requested the return of your sample.

The rate of duty will be free.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
