Description of the goods
An unassembled toy figurine of plastics, approximately 4,5 cm tall, consisting of two parts. It is presented in a plastic container in the shape of an egg consisting of two separable halves which fit snugly together at the edges. The figurine has humanoid features of a man. It does not have movable parts or detachable clothing and it maintains its position unsupported. The figurine represents a wizard from a comic-book series and forms a part of a collection together with the other characters from the series.
Reasons
Classification is determined by General Rules 1, 2(a), 5(b) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 9503 00 and 9503 00 95. Classification under CN code 9503 00 21 as dolls is excluded, as the product is not a doll. A doll is a model of a human male or female character, typically of a baby, a little girl or boy or a fashion model. Small rigid figurines that can maintain their position unsupported are not perceived as dolls. Classification under CN code 9503 00 49 as toys representing animals or non-human creatures, other than stuffed, is also excluded, as the objective characteristics of the character represented by the figurine are those of a man; it has no animal or non-human features. It is a humanoid figurine representing a comic book character (see also the CN Explanatory Notes to CN codes 9503 00 81 to 9503 00 99). The figurine is therefore to be classified under CN code 9503 00 95 as other toys of plastics.
