In your letter, you indicated that the sample would consist of a blister package containing 5 tubes of tempera paint. Each tube of paint has a plastic brush tip on the end. Each tube can be refilled with washable tempera paint.

The rate of duty will be 6.5 percent ad valorem on the entire set.
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 Debra Wholey at 646-733-3034.
