The item is composed of a round faced radio receiver with an on/off control and channel selector, which is housed within an inflatable plastic housing.

The rate of duty will be 3 percent ad valorem.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
