The mug is decorated on two sides with the popular cartoon figure, "Tweety". The applicable subheading for the plastic Tweety commuter mug set will be 3924.10.5000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for: tableware, kitchenware, other household articles...of plastics. The duty rate will be 3.4 percent 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.

Sincerely,
