The chocolate trifle is made by placing chocolate custard in a pot and layering with chocolate sponge cake, chocolate sauce, chocolate flakes and topped with whipped cream. The components are made separately and then combined in an assembly line. The assembled trifles are blast frozen, packaged in lidded pots, labelled and shrink wrapped. The trifles will be put up in boxes for retail sale. The applicable subheading for the trifles will be 1905.90.1041, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for bread, pastry, cakes, biscuits and other bakers' wares, whether or not containing cocoa...other... bread, pastry, cakes, biscuits, and similar baked products, and puddings, whether or not containing chocolate, fruit, nuts or confectionery...frozen...pastries, cakes and similar sweet baked products.

A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction. Sincerely, Jean F.
