RE: The tariff classification of a Christmas tree top ornament from China.

Dear Ms. Aldinger:

In your letter dated June 2, 1997, you requested a tariff classification ruling on a Angel Christmas tree top ornament, Rite Aid item number 971832.

The ornament in question, known as "Angel Tree Top", is described as a 16" ethnic angel tree topper. The face and hands are made of porcelain and fabric wings permanently attached to the angels back. The body of the angel is constructed of a plastic cone which is covered with a man-made fiber gown (with white slip underlay) which enables the ornament to be attached to the top of a Christmas tree.

The applicable subheading for the Christmas tree top ornament will be 9505.10.2500, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for articles for Christmas festivities and parts and accessories thereof: Christmas ornaments: other: other. The rate of duty will be free.

REPLY TO: AREA PORT DIRECTOR, 11099 S. LA CIENEGA BOULEVARD, LOS ANGELES, CA 90045

Sincerely,

Thomas S. Winkowski
Area Port Director
