RE: The tariff classification of a "Mermaid Princess" tote bag, coin purse and bracelet from China.

Dear Mr. Sias':

In your letter dated November 5, 1991, on behalf of F.W. Woolworth Co., you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The submitted sample, item #4229, called a "Mermaid Princess Water-Filled Tote Set", consists of a tote bag, a coin purse and a necklace. All three items are constructed of clear plastic.

The water-filled open top double handle tote bag measures approximately 10" x 10". The front of the tote features the "Mermaid Princess" logo.

The water-filled coin purse measures approximately 4 1/2" x 3 1/2" and has an attached plastic dog leash-type key ring. It is secured by means of a top slide zipper closure. The front of the purse features the "Mermaid Princess" logo.

The water-filled bracelet measures approximately 6 1/2" in length and 1 inch in width. It is secured by means of a hook and loop fastener. The front of the bracelet features the "Mermaid Princess" logo. Even though the items will be blister packed and sold at retail sale as a set, however, for classification purposes each item will be classified separately.

Your samples are being returned as you requested.

We recommend that you consult with the Environmental Protection Agency regarding the color-dye contained within the articles.

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.
