Four box samples were included: styles RT850/950/1050/1150. The aluminum tap is the essential character in all of the samples.

The applicable subheading for the toe or heel package will be 7616.99.5090, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Other articles of aluminum: Other: Other: Other. The rate of duty will be 2.5% ad valorem.
