Dear Ms. Tillery:

In your letter dated May 17, 2004, on behalf Fashion Industries, you requested a tariff classification ruling. Two representative samples of the items you wish to import were submitted with your ruling request. These samples are being returned to you.

In order to issue a ruling on the napkin ring you describe as “Happy Snowman”, we need the following additional information.

In your letter you stated that this product is composed of “resin”. Does the “resin” napkin ring consist of pure plastics or a combination of plastics and another material?

Please provide the precise geological and /or chemical name of the material agglomerated with the plastic resin. Please indicate the percentage by weight of the plastics and the percentage by weight of the other material.

Please describe the manner in which the material agglomerated with the plastics is produced or derived. Is this material (e.g., calcium carbonate) derived from natural stone, a mineral source other than stone or a synthetic chemical?

When this information is available, you may wish to consider resubmission of your request. If you decide to resubmit your request, please include the sample and all of the material that we have returned to you and mail your request to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Customs Information Exchange, 10th Floor, One Penn Plaza, New York, NY 10119, attn: Binding Rulings Section.
