The samples submitted with your letter are clear plastic
communion cups with flared tops. The cups measure approximately
one and a quarter inches in both height and top diameter. They
will be used in religious ceremonies.
The applicable subheading for the communion cups will be
3926.90.9050, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States

rate of duty will be 5.3 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.
