RE: The tariff classification of an “Air Dancers – Snowman” from China.

Dear Mr. Bresnahan:

In your letter dated November 29, 2002, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

You submitted a photograph of an “Air Dancers – Snowman” tafetta (woven fabric) fan sculpture with electric motor. The Snowman is decorated with appropriate Christmas symbols, such as holly leaves and holly berries. The electric motor, when attached to the base of the sculpture, illuminates the tafetta and causes a fan to blow air into the sculpture, simulating movement. When imported, the item will be sold in one assembled unit as a holiday decoration.

The applicable subheading for the “Air Dancers – Snowman” will be 9505.10.2500, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for “Articles for Christmas festivities and parts and accessories thereof: Christmas ornaments: Other: Other.” The rate of duty will be free.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist Alice Wong at 646-733-3026.

Sincerely,

Robert B. Swierupski
