Dear Mr. White:

In your letter dated March 10, 2004, you requested a tariff classification ruling. A photograph of the product you wish to import was submitted with your ruling request.

Each glass measures approximately 3.25 inches in height and 2.75 inches in diameter at the opening. The ice bucket measures approximately 8.5 inches in height and 6 inches in diameter at the opening.

The essential character of this set is imparted by the glass ice bucket. The ice bucket is the largest and most valuable item within the glassware set. You indicated in your letter that the unit value of the ice bucket is not over five dollars.
