RE: The tariff classification of Christmas decorations from China.

Dear Ms. Keller:

In your letter dated April 5, 1999, on behalf of your client New Creative Enterprise Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling. You have submitted five samples of windsculpts (wall hangings). The windsculpts are composed of 100% nylon woven fabric. All of the windsculpts have a “vertical motif”. They are designed to hang vertically by a rod put through the “tunnel” or sleeve at the top. They are sewn together on all four sides. There are no grommets or other means to affix to a pole on the left side. The windsculpts are double sided and suitable for use indoor or outdoor.

Item #45454 is a Mickey and Minnie wreath. This wall hanging is in the shape of a Christmas wreath. The faces of Mickey and Minnie Mouse in Santa hats are stitched onto the wreath.

This three dimensional wall hanging shows a snowman with a carrot nose sticking out, holding a candy cane in each hand. The snowman wears a red and green scarf around his neck.
