You indicate that the seat is made of any of the following materials: vinyl or flocked PVC, fabric (cotton, nylon, rayon)/PVC laminate. A repair kit consisting of two swatches and glue will be packaged together with the seat in either a polybag or a box. A manual plastic foot pump may also be included in the package.

The applicable subheading for the inflatable seat will be 9401.80.4045, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other seats: of rubber or plastics: other, other. The rate of duty will be 1% ad valorem.
