Dear Mr. Stein:

In your letter dated January 30, 2007, on behalf of your client, BIC® USA Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling on BIC® Soleil products.

The submitted Soleil samples consist of a razor with a shower holder and one refill cartridge (UPC 70330 71648) packaged for retail sale and a package of four cartridge refill blades (UPC 70330 71650). The razor has a non-metallic handle and comes with its own cartridge blade. The package also contains a shower holder and an additional replacement cartridge blade. The second sample, the four replacement cartridges, come packaged in a box. There are three metallic single edged blades housed within each plastic cartridge. You have requested a tariff classification for the following items: (1) a razor, (2) a razor sold with one refill cartridge packaged for retail sale, and (3) a four-pack and eight-pack of razor blade cartridge refills for a razor.

The rate of duty will be free.
