This toy is constructed using knit pile fabric as an outer covering and has been stuffed with cellophane and catnip. Item #196 is a dog toy in the shape of a bear. It is constructed with an outer covering of knit pile fabric and has been stuffed with man-made fiber batting. Item #198 is designed as a toy for dogs and is constructed with an outer covering of knit pile fabric. Shaped like a bone, this toy is stuffed with man-made fiber. Item #212 is a dog toy in the shape of a frisbee. Made with an outer covering of knit pile fabric, this item has been stuffed with acrylic fiber. Item #213 was designed as a toy for dogs and is in the shape of a bone. This product has an outer covering of knit pile fabric and has been stuffed with acrylic fiber.
The applicable subheading for all five pet toys will be 6307.90.7500, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other made up articles...other, toys for pets, of textile materials. The rate of duty will be 7.2 percent ad valorem.
