Based on the supplied photo of the party candle set, the 4 candles average in height between approximately 1-1/2 inches and 2 inches and in width between approximately 1-1/4 inches and 1 1/2 inches. You indicate in your letter the candles are composed of 99 percent paraffin. The candles are in the shape of a face, star with a heart, a flower, and an insect. Each candle has a post base measuring approximately 1/2 inch in length and 5/16 inch in width for insertion into a surface. The candles are blister packed for retail sale.

The applicable subheading for the party candle set of 4 wax candles 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.
