RE: The tariff classification of a watering can, bucket, and kneepads from China.

Dear Ms. McCabe:

In your letter dated December 2, 2004, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

Three samples were included with your request. Style #DE251K is a set of two kneepads designed for children. The pads are constructed of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) foam plastic inside a shell made of cellular plastic sheeting laminated to a knit textile fabric. The fabric is printed on the front with a picture of Dora the Explorer. A clear plastic circular shell covers the front to provide additional protection to the knee. An elastic band with a VELCRO™ type closure secures the kneepad to the knee.

Style #SS420K is described as a garden watering can. It is molded of polyethylene and polypropylene plastic and is decorated with SpongeBob Squarepants™ designs.

Style #SS8K is described as a garden bucket. The bucket is molded of polypropylene plastic and has a plastic carrying handle. It measures approximately 6 ¾ inches in both height and top diameter and is decorated with SpongeBob Squarepants™ designs. The samples are being returned as you requested.

The applicable subheading for the kneepads, style #DE251K, and the watering can, style #SS420K, will be 3924.90.5500, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for tableware, kitchenware, other household articles and toilet articles, of plastics: other: other.
