embroidery designs and the embroidered words "Merry Christmas" on
one side. Each has an opening at the top for hanging on a
doorknob and is decorated with ribbons tied into a bow with a
metal bell in the center. The samples are being returned as
requested.
The applicable subheading for the "Christmas Doorknob
Decorations" will be 6307.90.9986, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States (HTS), which provides for other made up
articles...Other: Other, other. The rate of duty will be 7
percent ad valorem.
Articles classifiable under subheading 6307.90.9986, HTS,
which are products of the Philippines, are entitled to duty free
treatment under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) upon
compliance with all applicable regulations.
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

brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
transaction.
