RE: The tariff classification of a "gift set" from China

Dear Ms. Pianko:

In your letter dated April 7, 1998, you requested a tariff classification ruling of a "gift set."

The subject gift set consists of a dummy watch (not working), but when imported will have a working watch, nail file, tweezers, cuticle scissors, nail clipper. The gift set is packaged in a zippered carry pouch that is inserted in a cardboard box with a transparent top that shows all the contents of the gift set.

When imported the watch will have a quartz analog, no jewel, Japan movement. The watch case and watch band are gold plated. For classification purposes the gift set must be broken out for each item and classified separately. The addition of the watch makes it more than a set. A watch is not normally found in a manicure set, travel set or tool set.

The wrist watch will be classified as follows: Wrist watch,pocket watch and other watches including stop watches having no jewels or only one jewel in the movement: with strap or bracelet of textile material or of base metal whether or not gold or silver plated: with gold or silver plated case.
