RE: The tariff classification of costumes from China.

Dear Mr. Schary:

In your letter dated March 9, 2006, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

You have requested rulings on the following textile costumes, which meet the flimsy, non-durable requirements for classification within Chapter 95 and are being returned upon your request.

Item numbers 7905177 and 7905183, Small and Large Zorro - 4PC, are two sizes of a black textile costume that consists of a cape, a shirt, a pair of pants, a mask and a belt, with the cape imparting the essential character. Although the cape has a well-made styling feature (two layers) and well-made seams, it has flimsy construction of the neck, a flimsy string tie closure and flimsy edges at the hem and closure.

Item numbers 7899677 and 7899719, Small and Large Medieval Burgandy Princess 1 - PC, are two sizes of a textile costume comprised of a burgundy colored dress with gold cord. Although the dress has a well-made styling feature (sleeves) and well-made edges at the hem, it has flimsy construction of the neck, waist and seams, a flimsy hook and loop closure and flimsy edges at the arms and closure.

Item numbers 7900244 and 7900301, Small and Large Spiderella - 2PC, are two sizes of a black textile costume with a spider web pattern that consists of a dress and slip, with the dress imparting the essential character. Although the dress has a well-made styling feature (sleeves) and a well-made closure, it has flimsy construction of the neck and seams.

Item number 7894637, Adult Nun - 3PC, is a textile costume that consists of a dress, a dickie and a hood, with the dress imparting the essential character. The dress has flimsy construction of the neck and seams, a flimsy hook and loop tab closure and flimsy edges at the arms, hem and closure.

Item numbers 7922669 and 7922693, Angel 4 - PC, are two sizes of a textile costume that consists of a dress, a slip, a pair of wings and a halo, with the dress imparting the essential character. Although the dress has a well-made styling feature (a two layer belt) and well-made construction of the waist, it has flimsy construction of the neck and seams, a flimsy hook and loop closure and flimsy edges at the arms, hem and closure.

The applicable subheading for item numbers 7905177 and 7905183, Small and Large Zorro - 4PC, item numbers 7899677 and 7899719, Small and Large Medieval Burgandy Princess 1 - PC, item numbers 7900244 and 7900301, Small and Large Spiderella - 2PC, item number 7894637, Adult Nun - 3PC, and item numbers 7922669 and 7922693, Angel 4 - PC, will be 9505.90.6000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), 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.
