a "Gentleman's Old Age Kit." It consists of a plastic container
with lid, a notebook with blank pages and a tube of hand cream.
The container cover is marked "Teeth." The product has no
essential character. Each item is individually classifiable.
The applicable subheading for plastic container will be
3924.90.5000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other household articles and toilet
articles of plastics: Other: Other. The rate of duty will be
3.4 percent ad valorem.
The applicable subheading for notebook with blank pages will
be 4820.10.2050, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States

other. The rate of duty will be 4 percent ad valorem.
The applicable subheading for hand cream will be

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

brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
transaction.
Sincerely,
Jean F. Maguire
