Dear Ms. Bell:

In your letter received on June 6, 2006, you requested a tariff classification ruling. Your candle consists of a cylinder-shaped white wax form in a fitted cylinder-shaped metal container measuring 1.5 inches in diameter by 0.5 inches in height.

The applicable subheading for the tealight candle in a fitted metal container will be 3406.00.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for candles, tapers and the like. The rate of duty will be free.
