Dear Ms. Fair:

In your letter dated September 24, 2002, you requested a tariff classification ruling. A representative sample of the item was submitted and will be returned to you as requested.

The globe, which is filled with water, features a resin flower figurine. When the globe is shaken, iridescent particles are scattered and fall onto the figurine. The glass globe measures approximately two-and one half inches in diameter.

You indicated in your letter that this product will be used for decorative purposes and that the unit value for this item is $3.53.

The applicable subheading for the glass globe will be 7013.99.8000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for glassware of a kind used for...indoor decoration or similar purposes: other glassware: other: other: other: valued over three dollars but not over five dollars each.
