RE: The tariff classification of a Barbie Island Princess Dress Up Trunk from China.

Dear Ms. Beck:

In your letter dated May 14, 2007, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

You submitted the Barbie Island Princess Dress Up Trunk, which meets the flimsy, non-durable requirements for classification within Chapter 95 and is being returned upon your request.

Item 89560, Barbie Island Princess Dress Up Trunk, consists of a trunk, a plastic tiara, three plastic rings (pink, purple, blue), three pairs of slippers (pink, purple, blue), three textile skirts (pink, purple, blue) and three textile tops (pink, purple, blue), with the tops imparting the essential character. The pink top has one styling feature and two well-made embellishment. The purple top has two well-made embellishments. The blue top has one styling feature and one well-made embellishment. However, the preponderance of their elements (construction, edges closures and elastics) is flimsy and imparts the essential character of the item. The accompanying cardboard trunk is a pink paper box that measures approximately 11" in depth x 18" across, with two air holes on opposite sides to prevent child suffocation and which double as "handles" for the trunk.

The applicable subheading for item 89560, Barbie Island Princess Dress Up Trunk, 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.

Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change. The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are provided on World Wide Web at http://www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/.

Please note that separate Federal Trade Commission marking requirements exist regarding country of origin, fiber content, and other information that must appear on many textile items. You should contact the Federal Trade Commission, Division of Enforcement, 6th and Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C., 20580, for information on the applicability of these requirements to this item. Information can also be found at the FTC website www.ftc.gov (click on “For Business” and then on “Textile, Wool, Fur”).

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist Wayne Kessler at 646-733-3026.

Sincerely,

Robert B. Swierupski
