RE: The tariff classification of two Race Car Launchers from China

Dear Ms. Shafran:

In your letter dated January 10, 2008, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

You are requesting the tariff classification of two products that are described as toy race car launchers. The first toy car launcher, the Cars® Race Case Launcher, item #M1896, is a plastic vehicle launcher case shaped like a Lightning McQueen tire with ten slots to hold miniature Cars® vehicles. Each launcher case is sold with one vehicle. When the hub of the tire is turned, the vehicles are propelled from the gravity launcher. The second toy car launcher case is identified as a Hot Wheels® Speed Racer Carrying Case Launcher, item #M7710. It consists of a plastic toy vehicle launcher case modeled after the tire from a Mach 5. There are seven spaces designed to hold seven miniature Hot Wheels® Speed Racer vehicles. Each launcher case is packaged and sold with one toy car. When the tire is rotated and a toy car is selected, a button at the center of the tire may be pushed to propel the car from the launcher gate. Multiple cars may be launched in succession. The launcher may also be connected to a race track designed for Hot Wheels® vehicles. The samples will be returned, as requested.

The applicable subheading for the Cars® Race Case Launcher and the Hot Wheels® Speed Racer Carrying Case Launcher will be 9503.00.0080, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for tricycles, scooters, pedal carsdolls, other toyspuzzles of all kinds; parts and accessories thereofother.
