Dear Ms. Stone:

In your letter dated November 11, 1991, on behalf of Mark Steven Service Merchandisers, Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling.

They are imprinted with an Easter message. The second item is a stencil kit, containing 6 marking pens, foam to anchor the egg, 3 stencils and 12 paper egg stands.

The applicable subheading for the novelty pencils will be 9609.10.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for pencils and crayons, with leads encased in a rigid sheath. The rate of duty will be 14 cents per gross plus 4.3 % ad valorem.

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.
