RE: The tariff classification of Traditional Novelty Candle, Item #18043 from China

Dear Mr. Liberati:

In your letter dated March 17, 1997, on behalf of your client Liss Brothers Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The sample submitted, Traditional Novelty Candle, Item #18034, is a candle molded into the shape of a snowman, holding a green Christmas wreath and wearing a red cap and mittens. The candle measures approximately 5 1/2" in height and 4 3/4" at its widest width.

The applicable subheading for the Traditional Novelty Candle, Item #18034, will be 3406.00.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Candles, tapers and the like. The rate of duty will be 2.3 percent ad valorem.

The Department of Commerce has determined that petroleum wax candles in the following shapes: tapers, spirals, and straight-sided dinner candles; rounds, columns, pillars, votives; and various wax-filled containers are within the scope of the antidumping duty order on petroleum wax candles from China. In our opinion, the sample candle is not within the scope of the antidumping duty order.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist V. Gualario at 212-466-5744.

Sincerely,

Robert B. Swierupski
Director
