RE: The tariff classification of “Four Trees”, a “Girl Doll” and “The Three Little Pigs House” from China.

Dear Ms. Landau:

This ruling only applies to the Four Trees. Each tree measures approximately 12 inches in height and 6-1/2 inches in width (at its widest width from branch to branch), with each tree depicting the foliage of a respective season (fall, winter, spring, or summer). The trees are sewn and made of plush polyester fiber. Included as tree decorations are polyester fiber apples (red and green) and white flowers. The Girl Doll is part of the “The Abuela Spanish Bag Set” identified as item number 3G431906, but will be imported separately. This ruling only applies to the Girl Doll.
