You have submitted a sample and three photographs with your request. The sample is a wine cup measuring approximately 3 1/4" high and 2" in diameter. The photographs show a three piece teacup, consisting of a saucer a cup and a cover. Both articles are made of jasper.

The applicable subheading for the jasper wine cup and three piece teacup will be 7116.20.2000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Articles of...precious or semiprecious stones (natural, synthetic or reconstructed): Other: Of semiprecious stones.

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.

Sincerely,
