RE: The tariff classification of costumes from China.

Dear Ms. Johnson:

In your letter dated December 28, 2007, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

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

Style 3640, Rodeo Princess, is a textile costume set that consists of a dress, cuffs, a collar, a hat and a garter, with the dress imparting the essential character. Although the dress has a styling feature and three well-made embellishments, it has a flimsy neck and seams, a flimsy hook and loop tab closure and flimsy edges at the arms and bottom.

Style 3547, Seven Seas Vixen, is a textile costume set that consists of a dress and a head tie, with the dress imparting the essential character. Although the dress has two well-made embellishments, it has a flimsy neck, waist and seams, a flimsy hook and loop tab closure and flimsy edges at the arms and bottom.

Style 3546, Little Red Riding Hood, is a textile costume set that consists of a dress, an apron and a hood/cape, with the hood/cape imparting the essential character. Although the hood/cape has a styling feature, it has flimsy seams, a flimsy string tie closure and flimsy edges at the bottom, closure and hood opening.

Style 3641, Lotus Flower Geisha, is a textile costume set that consists of a dress, a belt and chopsticks, with the dress imparting the essential character. Although the dress has two styling features, it has a flimsy neck, waist and seams, a flimsy hook and loop tab closure and flimsy edges at the arms, bottom, closure and styling features.
