In your letter dated July 14, 1998, you requested a tariff classification ruling in behalf of your client, Tara Toy Corporation, located at 40 Adams Avenue, Hauppauge, New York for various Barbie figurine sharpeners to be imported from China..

The base acts as a stand and incorporates a plastic pencil sharpener. The figurines are described a "Ballerina Barbie", "Jazzercise Barbie", "Nighttime Barbie", and "Party Barbie".

Your sample is being returned under separate cover.

The subject merchandise is made of two major components: a doll and a sharpener. . The composite article, according to GRI 3(c) is to be classified under the heading which occurs last in numerical order among those which equally merit consideration.

The applicable subheading for the "Barbie Figurine Sharpeners" will be 9502.10.0060, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for "Dolls representing only human beings: Dolls....Not Stuffed". The rate of duty will be free.
