RE: The tariff classification of "Looks Good" Cosmetics and Hair Accessory Assortment Item # 2641 from Taiwan

Dear Mr. Crowley:

In your letter dated June 30, 1992, you requested a tariff classification ruling on behalf of your client The Mel Appel Group, Inc.

A sample of "Looks Good" Cosmetics Item # 2641 was submitted with your inquiry and is being returned as requested. The item consists of four powdered eye shadows, two powdered blushes, one foam applicator, one blush brush, one lipstick, one bottle of nail polish, one headband, one barrette and one scrunch.

The headband is composed of foam rubber and is covered with a multi-colored fabric (semi rigid constructed.) The scrunch consists of elastic covered with multi-colored fabric. The barrette consists of a circular shaped fabric measuring approximately two inches in diameter and decorated with a bow and bead which is securely attached to the center of the fabric. The "Looks Good" Cosmetics and Hair Accessory Assortment is designed for use by young girls ages eight and up.

Item # 2641 is not considered a set and each item will be separately classified as follows:

ITEM HTS RATE OF DUTY
eye shadow 3304.20.0000 4.9% ad valorem
blush 3304.91.0010 4.9% ad valorem
lipstick 3304.10.0000 4.9% ad valorem
