The submitted sample, Rite Aid item #94563, is a pair of
plastic pumpkin earrings marketed as "Halloween Earrings." A
plastic black cat sits on top of each pumpkin. The earrings are
designed for pierced ears and are displayed on a header card
which is covered with clear cellophane wrapping.
The applicable subheading for the pumpkin earrings will be

(HTS), which provides for Imitation jewelry: Other: Other: Valued
over 20 cents per dozen pieces or parts: Other: Of plastics. The
rate of duty will be Free.
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,
