The sample will be returned, as requested. The applicable subheading for My Pet Kitty/Puppy toy, reference # PP 275584, will be 9503.49.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for toys representing animals or non-human creatures...and parts and accessories thereof: other.
