The items themselves will not be sold and they have no working parts or functional value outside their use as display items. They are designed only to show customers how a furniture piece such as an entertainment center or desk will look when stocked with typical items. Item K213-1 is a mock DVD player made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). It has no working parts. The mock player is designed to sit on a shelf for display. Item KE2532 is a plasma TV model composed of medium density fiberboard (MDF) and PVC. It cannot receive any TV transmissions. It will be displayed in a home entertainment center. Item K230-1 is a PVC laptop. It has no working parts and cannot be turned on or used in any way. Item K8507 is a nonworking model of a projective television constructed of acrylic plastic and MDF. Item K111 is a PVC printer model for display on a desk. The applicable subheading for the PVC mock DVD player (K213-1), the PVC mock laptop (K230-1) and the PVC mock printer (K111) will be 3926.90.9880, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for other articles of plastics, other.
