RE: The tariff classification of plastic beads from China.
Dear Ms. Giarraputo:
In your letter dated March 20, 1995, on behalf of Lisa
Frank, Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling.
You have submitted two samples with your request. They are:
1. Item No. T325 - A plastic box with 12 compartments
containing multi-colored beads, plastic shapes and
string.
2. Item No. P824 - Four plastic receptacles in the shape of
a cat, a bear, a heart and an abstract design, all
containing multi-colored plastic beads and string. The
four containers are blister packaged to a header card
which reads "Lisa Frank Party Favors Mini Bead Sets."
The two items are designed for use by children.
The applicable subheading for Item No. T325 and Item No.
P824 will be 3926.90.3500, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), which provides for Other articles of
plastics...Beads, bugles and spangles...articles thereof, not
elsewhere specified or included: Other. The rate of duty will be
6.6% 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
