Dear Mr. Terrell:

sample is a "Queen Size Internal Air Pump Bed" with a knife edge
finish, a flocked top surface, and a PVC bottom. Its deflated

be returned, as requested.
The applicable subheading for the inflatable air bed will be

inflatable articles, not elsewhere specified or included." The
rate of duty will be 4.2 percent ad valorem.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177
of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above
