Once emptied, the cup can be used as a pencil cup, or can holder. The applicable subheading for the plastic cup that resembles a mini golf bag will be 3924.90.5500, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for...other household articles...of plastics: other, other. The rate of duty will be 3.4 percent ad valorem. This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
