The set also includes case evidence materials such as synthetic blood samples, blood analysis antiserum, hair samples, fiber samples along with fiber identification stain, mysterious ink samples, tire tread castings and six sealed envelopes with solutions

The applicable subheading for the “Whodunit? Lab” children’s laboratory set will be 9503.70.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for “Other toys; Other toys, put up in sets or outfits, and parts and accessories thereof. The rate of duty will be free.
