RE: The tariff classification of a plastic pendant/necklace from China.

Dear Ms. Aldinger:

In your letter dated December 7, 1994, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The submitted sample, Item #4025, (Rite Aid #92997) "Springtime Waterball Pendant", is a fluid filled plastic chick with floating plastic colored rounds and sparkles. A textile cord is attached to a loop at the top of the pendant.

The applicable subheading for the plastic pendant/necklace will be 7117.90.5000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of United States (HTS), which provides for Imitation jewelry: Other: Other: Valued over 20 cents per dozen pieces or parts. The duty rate will be 11% ad valorem. This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177). A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction.


Sincerely,

Jean F. Maguire
