RE: The tariff classification of napkin ring holders from China.

Dear Ms. Liu:

In your letter dated December 12, 2000, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

You have submitted three samples of napkin holder rings. The first napkin ring is identified as item #S62B8010. It is made of plastic and covered with viscose thread. The essential character of this napkin ring is imparted by the plastic component.

The second napkin ring is identified as item #S62B8011. It is made of wood.

The third napkin ring is identified as item #S74M8704. It is composed of a metal frame with glass beads on cotton mesh fabric. This napkin ring will be available with gold or silver color finish.

Although the samples are labeled “Made in India” your letter of inquiry indicates that they are made in China.

The applicable subheading for the plastic napkin ring covered with thread will be 3924.10.5000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for tableware, kitchenware, other household articlesof plastic: other. The rate of duty will be 3.4 percent ad valorem.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
