RE: The tariff classification of hat and fabric marker set from China.

Dear Mr. Maher:

In your letter dated July 20, 2004, on behalf of Roseart, you requested a classification ruling. The sample will be returned to you as requested.

The submitted sample, style 5275, Fuzzy Baseball Hat Set is a baseball style cap made of woven 100% cotton fabric with nylon flocking with three fabric markers included in the blister package. The purpose of the set is to color in the design on the hat with the colored fabric markers.

GRI 3 (b)goods put up in sets for retail sale, which cannot be classified by reference to 3 (a), shall be classified as if they consisted of the material or component which gives them their essential character. The hat imparts the essential character of style 5275.

The applicable subheading for style 5275 will be 6505.90.2060, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for “Hats and other headgearin the pieceOther: Of cotton, flax or both: Not knitted: Certified hand-loomed and folklore products; and headwear of cotton, Other.” The duty rate will be 7.5% percent ad valorem.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
