RE: The tariff classification of Art Set (Item# 1159) from Taiwan.

Dear Ms. Shaffer:

In your letter dated June 26, 1995, on behalf of your client Institutional Financing Services, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

Based on value, the paint set including the brush conveys the essential character of the set under GRI 3(b).

The applicable subheading for the Art Set will be 3213.10.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for artist's, students' or signboard painter's colors, modifying tints, amusement colors and the like, in tablets, tubes, jars, bottles, pans or in similar forms or packings:... Colors in sets. The rate of duty will be 6.5 percent ad valorem on the set.

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,
