The tent is designed with four openings, one opening on each side, for the attachment of the tunnels. The tent measures 36 inches in length by 36 inches in wide by 43 inches in height. Each tunnel measures 36 inches long by 18 inches wide. The country origin is China.

The "Baby Hut", "Tunnel Hut 4", and "Play Through" fall within textile category designation 669. Based upon international textile trade agreements products of Korea, China and the Philippines are subject to quota and the requirement of a visa.

The designated textile and apparel categories may be subdivided into parts. If so, visa and quota requirements applicable to the subject merchandise may be affected. Part categories are the result of international bilateral agreements which are subject to frequent renegotiations and changes. To obtain the most current information available, we suggest that you check, close to the time of shipment, the Status Report on Current Import Quotas (Restraint Levels), an internal issuance of the U.S. Customs Service, which is available for inspection at your local Customs office.

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 Alan Tytelman at 212-466-5896.
