Dear Mr. Musser:

In a letter dated May 26, 1999 you requested a tariff classification ruling on behalf of your client, Wild Planet Toys. A sample of the product was provided.

Extending from this case are four flexible light cables that may be attached to four fingertips with soft clips. At the end of each cable is a red LED light bulb. A 3 volt battery is included in the case and provides the electrical energy for lighting the bulbs. In operation, the case is attached to the child and the light cables are attached to the childs fingers. The lights at the fingertips are turned on or off via a button on the top of the plastic case.

The applicable subheading for the Light Hand - Finger Lights, item #10168 will be 9503.90.0045, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Other toys, reduced-sized (scale) models an similar recreational models, working or not; puzzles of all kinds, parts and accessories thereof; other, other toys and models.
