RE: The tariff classification of the “Peppa Pig Muddy Puddle Champion” game from China
Dear Ms. Lockney:
In your letter submitted August 24, 2021, you requested a tariff classification ruling.
Photographs and a description of the “Peppa Pig Muddy Puddle Champion” game, Item# F4262, were received with your inquiry. The game consists of 1 battery operated light-up electronic game unit, 2 plastic Peppa Pig toy doll figures, “Peppa and George”, and game instructions. The game is activated by a player pressing one of the “puddle buttons” that turns on the unit and automatically begins a game. The puddle buttons flash and change colors while music is played. Each player holds a doll figure and taps the illuminated buttons that match the color of their boots following the light-up color sequence. Players score a point each time they match the boots to the color lights. When the music stops, the game unit lights up a final sequence to indicate the winner of the game. A toggle switch on the unit allows the game to be played by either one or two players. The “Peppa Pig Muddy Puddle Champion” game is intended children ages 3 and up.
The applicable subheading for the “Peppa Pig Muddy Puddle Champion” game will be 9504.90.9080, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for Video game consoles and machines, articles for arcade, table or parlor games, including pinball machines, bagatelle, billiards and special tables for casino games; automatic bowling alley equipment; parts and accessories thereof: Other: Other: Other: Other.
