Dear Ms. Wierbicki:

In your letter dated September 18, 2002, on behalf of your client Avon Products, Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The item in question is denoted as the “Shower CD player”, product number PP253373. It is a portable, fully operative; battery powered clock radio, combined in the same housing with a CD player.
