RE: The tariff classification of a Barbie “Fancy Faces Makeover Magic Activity Set” from China.

Dear Mr. Macken:

In your letter dated June 27, 2006, on behalf of your client, Tara Toy Corporation, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

You submitted a sample of a prototype of a Barbie “Fancy Faces Makeover Magic Activity Set”, which is being returned upon your request. The toy is comprised of a plastic unit containing a roll of Barbie images that have a wipe-off surface and a dial/knob on the front lower right of the unit that advances the images. Underneath a clear cover on the left side of the unit is makeup designed to look like mini-lipsticks, a powder puff style eraser and a foam tipped makeup applicator that allows the user to apply, erase and re-apply the makeup on the Barbie images over and over again. Also included will be vinyl clings with imagery of various accessories and jewelry, such as earrings and hair barrettes, with some of the clings having glitter and tiny gem details. These vinyl clings will be used to accessorize the Barbie images. The toy is designed for a child three years of age and older who will derive amusement from role-playing as a Barbie makeup artist.

The applicable subheading for the Barbie “Fancy Faces Makeover Magic Activity Set” will be 9503.90.0080, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for "Other toys; reduced-size ("scale") models and similar recreational models, working or not; puzzles of all kinds; parts and accessories thereof: Other: Other." The rate of duty will be Free.

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/.

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
