Dear Ms. Llamas:

In your letter dated May 25, 2000 you requested a tariff classification ruling. A representative sample of the subject article was submitted with your inquiry.

The submitted sample is a “Firefly” Lantern that has the shape of a traditional Coleman lantern. It is designed to be a container for “fireflies” which are to provide the source of illumination. The body of the “lantern” measures approximately 8 ½ inches in height and 5 ¼ inches in diameter. It has a metal handle for carrying. Its removable base and swivel top is blue in color and is made of plastic. The removable base opens to reveal a secret compartment. The swivel top is utilized to place the fireflies inside the lantern. The balance of the upper and lower portion is green in color and is also made of plastic. The mid portion of the lantern is made of aluminum mesh to permit illumination and easy viewing.

The applicable subheading for this toy Firefly Lantern will be 9503.90.0045, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Other toys; Other; Other toys and models. The rate of duty will be free.
