Photographs and descriptions of the “Sun's Out Spinny Fan,” item number 4986, were submitted with your inquiry. The article under consideration is a molded plastic, handheld, toy fan measuring approximately 3” x 3” with a 2.75” handle. The fan consists of 2 child safe soft plastic blades that are actuated by the child pumping a lever located on the handle. The “Sun's Out Spinny Fan,” comes in 4 colorful motifs in the shape of a donut, ice cream cone, unicorn, and pink flamingo. The nature of the fan will not render it useful as an effective cooling device. The size, construction, marketing, and limited use of the item indicate that the product is a toy principally designed for the amusement of children ages 3 and up. The applicable subheading for the “Sun's Out Spinny Fan,” item number 4986, will be 9503.00.0073, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, (HTSUS), which provides for “Tricycles, scooters, pedal cars, and similar wheeled toys…dolls, other toys…puzzles of all kinds; parts and accessories thereof… ‘Children’s products’ as defined in 15 U.S.C. § 2052: Other: Labeled or determined by importer as intended for use by persons: 3 to 12 years of age.” The rate of duty will be Free.
