One CVS Dr. Woonsocket, RI 02895 RE: The tariff classification of faux fur ball keychain from China Dear Mr. Kenny: In your letter dated April 22, 2019, written on behalf of CVS Pharmacy Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling. You have submitted a sample with your request, which will be retained by our office. CVS item 285653 is a faux fur shaped ball that is made of polyester. The ball is sewn to a plastic coated polyester loop and attached to a steel split key ring. You state that the faux fur covers a foam plastic ball that makes up the core and holds the shape of the ball. It is packaged in a clear plastic gift box with a red/white textile ribbon on top. The ball keychain measures approximately 3 inches in diameter. Although the article features a split ring, the size and shape of the puffy fur ball is too large to be easily placed in one’s pocket to be used as a key holder. It is aptly designed to be attached to a backpack as a decorative item.
