An article having the shape of an almost square, stylised elephant, measuring approximately 32 × 48 × 24 cm, consisting of two halves that are made of moulded, rigid plastic. It has four wheels and a removable shoulder strap that can also be used to pull the article along.
The two halves are held together by an integral hinged seam across the bottom and by two security snap closures at its opposite ends, which stop the article from opening immediately all the way. The hinges allow the two halves of the article to lie flat on the ground when opened.
One half of the article is fitted with two textile straps forming an X when linked by a clip. It also has a small flat textile pocket attached on the inside. The other half of the article is fitted with a separation flap of textile material holding one flat pocket with a zip closure. The separation flap is fixed to the side of the article, where the hinges are, and can be attached to the opposite side of that half.

Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 1(d) to Chapter 95, and the wording of CN codes 4202, 4202 12 and 4202 12 50.
The article has the objective characteristics of suitcases of heading 4202, for example the moulded rigid plastic material, the hinges, the closure system, the straps, separation flap and pockets, the wheels and the fact that it is shaped and can be used as a container that opens like a typical hinged suitcase. These characteristics indicate that the article is to be considered as a suitcase and not a wheeled toy. Therefore, classification as a wheeled toy similar to pedal cars of heading 9503 is excluded.
The article is therefore to be classified under CN code 4202 12 50, as a suitcase of moulded plastic material.
