Dear Ms. Aldinger:
In your letter dated October 23, 2006, you requested a tariff classification ruling.
You are requesting the tariff classification on an item that is described as a “Jumbo Water Slide”. The “Jumbo Water Slide” is inflatable, and is inflated by means of a blower that is connected to the slide. The product is an outdoor slide that is designed for children. Your sample will be returned, as requested by your office.
The proper classification will be in Chapter 95 of the HTS, as equipment for general physical exercise.
The applicable subheading for the “Jumbo Water Slide” will be 9506.99.6080, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for articles and equipment for general physical exercise, gymnastics, athletics, other sports...or outdoor games, not specified or included elsewhere in this chapter...parts and accessories thereof: other...other. The rate of duty will be 4 % 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 should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist Tom McKenna at 646-733-3025.
