RE: The tariff classification of a skirt, wand, slippers and carrying bag from China.

Dear Ms. Shepherd:

In your letter dated May 31, 2006 you requested a classification ruling.

The submitted sample is called an Item 15011 Ross Ballet Tutu Playset. Item 15011 consists of a girl's skirt, wand, slippers and carrying bag that are packaged for retail sale. The well-made tutu is constructed of 100% knit net polyester fabric and features a gathered skirt and tunneled elasticized waist. The textile slippers are flimsy and the wand features a plastic handle and narrow ribbon streamers. The carrying bag is constructed of woven nylon with a clear plastic top panel and features a carrying handle and zipper closure.

The carrying bag is reusable and is not ordinary packing. In addition, the carrying case is not connected to the activity of dressing like a ballerina. This precludes classification for tariff purposes as “goods put up in sets for retail sale,” and the individual items will be separately classified.

The applicable subheading for the Item 15011 Ross Ballet skirt will be 6104.53.2020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for women’s or girls’ suits, ensembles, suit-type jackets, blazers, dresses, skirtsknitted or crocheted: skirts and divided skirts: of synthetic fibers: other, girls’. The duty rate will be 16 percent ad valorem. The textile category designation is 642.

The applicable subheading for the Item 15011 Ross Ballet wand and slippers will be 9503.90.0080, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for other toyspuzzles of all kinds; parts and accessories thereof: Other: Other. The duty rate will be Free.

The applicable subheading for the Item 15011 Ross Ballet carrying bag will be 4202.92.3031, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides, in part, for travel, sport and similar bags, with an outer surface of textile materials, of man-made fibers. The duty rate will be 17.6 percent ad valorem. The textile category designation is 670.

Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change. The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are provided on World Wide Web at http://www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/.
