In your letter dated October 6, 1995, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

These are novelty candles for use on Halloween.

The Department of Commerce has determine that novelty candles (Halloween Candles) are not within scope of the antidumping order on the petroleum-wax candles for the People's Republic of China(PRC).
