RE: The tariff classification of various plastic articles from Zimbabwe.

Dear Ms.Grauel:

In your letter dated July 7, 1993, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

You have submitted descriptions of twelve items of plastic. You have also submitted pictures of six of the twelve items. All the items are made of lucite and have flowers embedded in the plastic. You wish classification on the following items: a round trivet, a sugar bowl with a lucite spoon, a jam bowl, an ash tray, a snack bowl, an egg holder, two paperweights of different sizes, a soap dish, a toothbrush holder, napkin rings, and a decorative lucite egg. In the future please limit your requests to five items or less.

The applicable subheading for the sugar bowl with lucite spoon, the jam bowl and the snack bowl will be 3924.10.2000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for tableware, kitchenware, other household articles and toilet articles, of plastics, plates, cups, saucers, soup bowls, cereal bowls, sugar bowls, creamers, gravy boats, serving dishes and platters.
