RE: The tariff classification of a Christmas Shelf-Sitter from China.
Dear Ms. Chen:
In your letter dated February 12, 2023, you requested a tariff classification ruling.
You submitted photographs and a detailed description of an item identified as PSFL23 Soft Deer Decor, SKU #BCRY156489, which consists of an assortment of two styles of a shelf-sitter decoration. The item is made of man-made knitted textile fabric with polyester fiberfill to provide shape, gravel is added to provide weight, allowing the shelf sitters to sit upright on a flat surface. Both styles depict smiling, seated reindeer figures wearing colorful pullover ski-type sweaters with scarves tied at their necks. Both styles feature a prominent sprig of holly with berry permanently attached to the scarves. Both styles are identical except for the colors of the sweaters and scarves. Both styles measure approximately 6.5”(L) x 3.5”(W) x19"(H). Each style is sold separately. The shelf-sitters are marketed and sold exclusively as decorations for Christmas.
The applicable subheading for the PSFL23 Soft Deer Decor, SKU #BCRY156489, will be 9505.10.2500, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for “Festive, carnival or other entertainment articles, including magic tricks and practical joke articles; parts and accessories thereof: Christmas ornaments: Other: Other.” The rate of duty will be Free.
