RE: The tariff classification of a Disney Tsum Tsum Design Mega Set and a Disney Tsum Tusm Super Sticker Machine from China.
Dear Mr. Cervantes:
In your letter dated November 5, 2015 you requested a tariff classification ruling. The samples submitted will be returned to you.
Item number 86679 is described as a Disney Tsum Tsum Design Mega Set. The item consists of one cardboard frame, one foam sticker sheet, five paper pattern sheets, four paper sticker sheets, two stamps, one ink box, one gem sticker sheet, one notebook, two glitter glues, one card and two mini glitter pens. The notebook contains blank sheets and measures approximately 3 ½ inches by 4 inches. All of the items are packaged together in a cardboard case for retail sale. The item is intended to be used by children ages 3 and up.
While all the components are packaged and sold together, the items are not considered a set for tariff purposes as they do not meet the requirements of a GRI 3(b) set. The items are not put up together to meet one particular need. Therefore, each article will be classified separately.
The applicable subheading for the glitter glue stick will be 3213.90.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for “artists’, students’ or signboard painters’ colors, modifying tints, amusement colors and the like, in tablets, tubes, jars, bottles, pans or in similar forms or packings: other.” The rate of duty will be 3.4 percent ad valorem.
