RE: The tariff classification of two non-stuffed dolls and accessories from China.

Dear Ms. Borges:

In your letter dated March 27, 2002, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

You submitted the following samples:

Item #3828, Peter Pan, consists of a 12” non-stuffed Peter Pan doll, a 1-1/2” plastic gold crown, a 2-1/2” plastic treasure chest filled with jewels, a 1-3/4”plastic knife, a plastic 1-1/4” Tinker Bell hair clip, and a plastic ring packaged together in a cardboard box with plastic display window that measures approximately 14” in height and 6” in width. Although sold as a set, the components do not comprise a set for Customs’ purposes as they are not put up together to meet a particular need or carry out a specific activity. The gold crown, treasure chest, and plastic knife are designed for the doll but, as you indicate in your letter, the Tinker Bell hair clip and the plastic ring can be used by the child independent of the doll. Therefore, the components will be classified separately in their own respective tariff headings.
