RE: The tariff classification of felt shape kits and puppet theaters.
Dear Mr. Clarkson:
In your letter dated March 19, 1998, you requested a tariff classification ruling for five items
which are assembled in Canada with materials produced in either Canada or the United States.
Pic Pac Weather, Pic Pac Under the Sea and Pic Pac Backyard Nature consist of from 30 to
37 felt shapes, a felt board and storage bag. The figures can be placed on the boards to create
pictures which would be representative of their respective environments.
The Medieval Castle Theater and the Community Street Theater are puppet theaters. The
Community Street Theater includes a city hall, fireman, policeman, child and black backdrop. The
figures are hand puppets. The Medieval Castle consists of a cardboard castle, black cloth backdrop,
a puppet knight, maiden and dragon.
Your sample is being returned under separate cover.
The applicable subheading for the puppet theaters and velvet Pic Pac sets will be
9503.70.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for "Other
toys, put up in sets....Other: Other.....". The rate of duty will be free.
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 been filed without a copy, this ruling should be
brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction.
Sincerely,
Kevin Weeks
Port Director
Chicago, Illinois
