As indicated in your letter, there are four (4) items covered by this request. Item 1 is a "Quilt Pattern Designer" and consists of a 12 inch square metal sheet with 32 accompanying rubber ferrite magnetic triangles of various colors. The magnetic triangles can be moved to form various patterns, helping to assist in the designing of geometric quilting patterns. Item 2, identified as "Colour Me In" packs, is an accessory for use with Item 1 and consists of a set of the 32 triangle shaped rubber ferrite magnets. Items 3 and 4 are identified as "Children's Toy", and are described as identical to Items 1 and 2, except that the design and wording on the package top header card will be different to reflect an aim at the children's toy market. The applicable tariff provision for the "Quilt Pattern Designer (Item 1) and the "Colour Me In" packs (Item 2) will be 8505.19.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States Annotated (HTSUSA), which provides for other permanent magnets. The general rate of duty will be 4.9 percent ad valorem. We are unable to provide a tariff classification for Items 3 and 4 without a sample or specific information as to how these items will be designed to appeal to children. This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 CFR 177). 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. Maguire Area Director New York Seaport
