RE: The tariff classification of costumes from China.

Dear Mr. Williams:

In your letter dated October 20, 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 to you upon your request.

Style A2026, Rose Princess, is a textile costume set that consists of a dress, a front insert and a hoop skirt, with the dress imparting the essential character. Although the dress has styling (a bust line and a multiple layer skirt), a well-made neck, well-made edges at the arms and a well-made flower embellishment, it has a flimsy waist and seams, flimsy thin elastics at the arms, a flimsy hook and loop tab closure and flimsy edges at the bottom and closure.

Style A2028, Fairytale Princess, is a textile costume set that consists of a dress, a front insert and a hoop skirt, with the dress imparting the essential character. Although the dress has styling (a bust line and a multiple layer skirt), a well-made neck and well-made jewel and trim embellishments, it has a flimsy waist and seams, flimsy thin elastics at the arms, a flimsy hook and loop tab closure and flimsy edges at the arms, bottom and closure.

Style A2032, Cinderella, is a textile costume set that consists of a dress, a front insert and a hoop skirt, with the dress imparting the essential character. Although the dress has styling (multiple layer top and skirt) and well-made edges at the top styling feature, it has a flimsy neck, waist and seams, flimsy thin elastics at the arms, a flimsy hook and loop tab closure and flimsy edges at the arms, bottom and closure.

Style A2050, Pretty Pink Princess, is a textile costume set that consists of a dress, a front insert and a hoop skirt, with the dress imparting the essential character. Although the dress has styling (ruffles and a multiple layer skirt), a well-made neck and a well-made trim embellishment, it has a flimsy waist and seams, flimsy thin elastics at the arms, a flimsy hook and loop tab closure and flimsy edges at the arms, bottom and closure.

Style A2076, Jewel Princess, is a textile costume set that consists of a dress, a front insert and a hoop skirt, with the dress imparting the essential character. Although the dress has styling (multiple layer skirt and shawl), a well-made neck and well-made edges at the bottom and shawl edge, it has a flimsy waist and seams, flimsy thin elastics at the arms, a flimsy hook and loop tab closure and flimsy edges at the arms, bottom and closure.

The applicable subheading for style A2026, Rose Princess, style A2028, Fairytale Princess, style A2032, Cinderella, style A2050, Pretty Pink Princess, and style A2076, Jewel Princess, 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.
