RE:  The tariff classification of an inflatable bop bag, games   
     and plastic toys from China

Dear Ms. Andrade:

     In your letter dated July 29, 1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.  

     Five items were submitted with your inquiry.  The first
item, number 03646, is a bop bag called "Bop 'N Bob Sailor".  The
inflatable bag measures approximately 10 inches in height and is
made of vinyl.  The article is designed to float in water and has
a weighted bottom for bounce back action when pushed.  

     The second item, number 02831, is a game called "Grab-A-
Crab".  The game consists of 6 plastic crabs, one plastic air
pump and instructions.  The crabs are intended to be placed in
the bottom of a pool, the player then dives to the bottom of the
pool and pumps air into the crabs body, which causes the crab to
rise to the surface of the water.  The player who brings up the
most crabs, in one try, is the winner.

     The third item, number 02830, is a game called "Fish Links". 
The game includes 2 fishing rods, 10 assorted sea animals made of
plastic and instructions.  The sea animals float in the water and
can be hooked on the fishing line.  The player who catches the
most sea animals wins.








     The next item, number 02482, is known as "Bucket 'O
Buttons".  The plastic bucket contains 35 colorful shapes and
lacing string.  The buttons may be laced into various designs
facilitating development of motor skills in preschool age
children.

     The final item, number 02483, is known as "Bucket 'O
Spools".  The plastic bucket contains 20 colorful spools and
lacing string.  The spools may be laced into various designs     
promoting development of motor skills in young children.
      
     The applicable subheading for the "Bop 'N Bob Sailor" will
be 9503.90.6000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
