The tote has PVC tubular piping and stitched seams.

The case contains 8 markers, 2 small, plastic stencils, 10 crayons, and 1 rod-shaped PVC eraser. Each item will be classified separately.

The applicable subheading for the tote will be 4202.92.4500, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for travel, sports and similar bags, with outer surface of sheeting of plastic, other. The rate of duty will be 20 percent ad valorem.
