RE: The tariff classification of a costume from China.

Dear Ms. Rogalski:

In your letter dated October 10, 2005, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

You submitted a sample of a textile costume, which meets the flimsy, non-durable requirements and is being returned upon your request.

Style 513, Shadow of Death, is an adult-sized textile costume set that consists of a black polyester knit robe, a black hood, a holster and a vinyl mask, with the robe imparting the essential character. Although the robe has well-made multiple layer styling, it has flimsy construction of the neck and seams, a flimsy hook and loop tab closure, visible overlock stitching at the closure, and raw edges at the arms, layers and hem.

The applicable subheading for style 513, Shadow of Death, will be 9505.90.6000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for “Festive, carnival or other entertainment articles, including magic tricks and practical joke articles; parts and accessories thereof: Other: Other." The rate of duty will be Free.

Please note that separate Federal Trade Commission marking requirements exist regarding country of origin, fiber content, and other information that must appear on many textile items. You should contact the Federal Trade Commission, Division of Enforcement, 6th and Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C., 20580, for information on the applicability of these requirements to this item. Information can also be found at the FTC website www.ftc.gov (click on “For Business” and then on “Textile, Wool, Fur”).

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

A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist Alice Wong at 646-733-3026.

Sincerely,

Robert B. Swierupski
Director,
