Dear Mr. Schwartz:
This classification decision under the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTS) is being issued in accordance
with the provisions of Section 177 of the Customs Regulations (19
C.F.R. 177).
DATE OF INQUIRY : July 20, 1990
ON BEHALF OF : Helm Toy
DESCRIPTION OF
MERCHANDISE : The sample submitted, item #615, is called
a "Safari Slide". The slide consists of plastic
pipe segments with connectors, a 32" X 180" blue
plastic slide and a 30" X 40" plastic canopy
cover. Assembly is required, which includes
attachment of a hose, from a water source to the pipe connection. The long blue slide is
placed on the lawn and the canopy above it. When
the water is turned on, a spray emits from water
jets located on the sides of the canopy. This
wets the surface of the plastic material below
and allows a child to slide under the canopy.

spring mechanism

RATE OF DUTY : 6.8 percent ad valorem
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,
Jean F. Maguire
