Dear Ms. Shoule:
In your letter dated March 25, 1993, on behalf of F.W. Woolworth
Co., you requested a tariff classification ruling.
The instant sample, identified as style FW9318, consists of an 18
inch wreath manufactured from plastic foliage and decorated with
pine cones, mistletoe berries, red berries and red flocked bows.
The applicable subheading for the wreath will be 9505.10.4000,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for articles for Christmas festivities and parts and
accessories thereof, ... of plastics. The rate of duty will be
8.4 percent 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.
Your sample is being returned herewith.
Sincerely,
