The skateboard-shaped platform is connected by a metal bar to the handlebars. The item has no motor or chain, and is propelled along like a scooter by “foot power.” The applicable subheading for the “Bikeboard” identified as model number SR-G-7 x 7M will be 9501.00.4000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for “Wheeled toys designed to be ridden by children (for example, tricycles, scooters, pedal cars); dolls’ carriages and dolls’ strollers; parts and accessories thereof: Wheeled toys designed to be ridden by children and parts and accessories thereof: Other.” The rate of duty will be free.
