RE: The tariff classification of craft kits from China

Dear Mr. Friedman:

In your letter dated May 14, 2007, you requested a tariff classification ruling, on behalf of Shure Products Inc., your client.

You are requesting the tariff classification on 8 products that are described as activity sets. The two assortments are each made up of a group of 4 sets. The first group includes the following: Marble Painting, Beautiful Bobby Pins, Window Art, and Origami. The second group includes the following: Tile Magnets, Soap Creations, Groovy Hip Hemp, and Scrapbook Making. Although the eight sets are packaged as 2 products (4 to an assortment), for the purposes of classification each set within the assortment will be separately classified. Two of the sets qualify for treatment as toys, however the painting sets and the soap making set are more specifically classified elsewhere in the HTSUS.
