You are requesting the tariff classification on four items: link cables, product # Pl-758, link cables, product # PL-741, link cables, product # PL-764 and a “Wacky Pak”, product # PL-712. The first link cables connect up to four Game Boys together, the second link cables connect up to four Game Boys and a Game Cube together, the third link cables connect two Game Boys together. The fourth item is called a “Wacky Pak”, a carrying case for the Game Boy Advance System. The product number for the “Wacky Pak” is PL-712. The carry case has an outer surface of plastic sheeting. Noting chapter 95 Chapter Notes, particularly Note 3, the cable links in all three versions will be classified as accessories to video games used with a television receiver.
