The toy behaves and interacts in a lifelike and natural manner. It will be considered a toy, classifiable in Chapter 95, for the purposes of the tariff.

The applicable subheading for the Pleo™ toy will be 9503.00.0080, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for tricycles, scootersand similar wheeled toys; dolls’ carriages; dolls, other toys; reduced-scale (“scale”) modelsparts and accessories thereofother.
