RE: The tariff classification of candlesticks from China.

Dear Ms. Nemitz:

In your letter dated September 5, 2007, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

Under consideration are five styles of candlesticks identified as item numbers A2000007, A2000016, A2000044, A2000059, and A2000070, which are all designed with shallow fitted sockets for holding 3-inch diameter pillar candles. A2000007 measures 4.375 inches high by 12.75 inches wide by 4.5 inches in depth, and features a rectangular polyresin base, from which rise three evenly spaced metal rods; each rod supports a fitted metal socket. A2000016 is made entirely of polyresin material, and measures 14.13 inches high by 7 inches wide by 7 inches deep. A sturdy four-footed base supports an elongated teardrop-shaped body, which is capped with a fitted socket. A2000044 measures 16.25 inches high by 4.75 inches in diameter, and is also made of polyresin material. A flared, circular base provides a foundation for a cone-shaped body, from which rises a fitted socket. A2000059 measures 16 inches high by 5.63 inches wide by 4.63 inches deep. This polyresin candlestick is shaped like an inverted tulip glass, the top of which incorporates a fitted socket. A2000070 measures 11 inches high by 4.75 inches wide by 4.75 inches deep. A circular base supports an inverted tulip glass-shaped body, which supports a fitted socket.
