RE: The tariff classification of sun catcher kits from China.

Dear Mr. Baker:

In your letter dated October 9, 2007, on behalf of Colorbok Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling.

Two samples of Disney Princess sun catcher kits were provided with your letter. Each kit includes one clear plastic sun catcher, measuring approximately 5½ inches by 4½ inches, molded in the shape of one of the Disney Princesses, a suction cup, five tubes of paint and glitter. The paints and glitter are used to decorate the sun catchers. The suction cup allows the sun catcher to be displayed after it is painted. Item #37099A is a Cinderella sun catcher kit. Item #37100A is a Belle sun catcher kit. The sun catcher, suction cup, paint and glitter are classified together as a set in the tariff provision applicable to the article which imparts the essential character of the set. The sun catcher provides the essential character of the set.

As you requested, the samples will be returned.

The applicable subheading for the sun catcher kits will be 3926.40.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for other articles of plasticsstatuettes and other ornamental articles. The rate of duty will be 5.3 percent ad valorem.
