RE: The tariff classification of lighted grazing deer from China.
Dear Ms. Liu:
In your letter dated January 21, 2013, you requested a tariff classification ruling.
You submitted a photograph and descriptive information regarding a lighted UL 50” 70L LED Mesh Fabric Grazing Deer with Glitter, identified as item number A073CA03488. The deer figure is constructed of a metal frame covered with fabric. The deer is illuminated from the inside by a series of pure clear LED light bulbs that are attached to a 36” lead wire. When the wire is plugged into an electrical source, the deer is illuminated.
You also submitted a photograph and descriptive information regarding a lighted UL 50” 70L PVC Rattean (sic) Grazing Deer, identified as item number A073EA03548. The deer figure is constructed of a metal frame supporting PVC Rattean (sic) and is illuminated by a series of 3.5v clear light bulbs that are attached to a 36” lead wire. When the wire is plugged into an electrical source, the deer is illuminated.
Both the UL 50” 70L LED Mesh Fabric Grazing Deer with Glitter and UL 50” 70L PVC Rattean (sic) Grazing Deer are intended purely as decorative outdoor light sculptures for Christmas.

The rate of duty will be Free.
