Dear Mr. Bloomfield: In your letter dated October 6, 1998, on behalf of Crazy Mountain Import, you requested a classification ruling. The submitted photographs depicted a "Shaggy Felt Standing Rabbit", item number F1060, a "Fabric Garden Decoration", item number F1079, stuffed cats, item number F1023 and boxes, item number F1065. The "Shaggy Felt Standing Rabbit" is made of pile fabric resembling a bunny rabbit. It is wearing a textile long sleeves dress. The standing rabbit is mounted onto a wooden stand and decorated with raffia and a textile bow around one ear. The "Fabric Garden Decoration" is a textile wall hanging made of 100 percent cotton woven fabric with printed words around the sides. At the top are two textile fabric loops. Inserted through the textile loops is a wooden dowel. Attached onto the dowel is a metal decoration with a textile ribbon tied into a bow. The stuffed cats are made of pile fabric with a wooden base which allows the articles to stand up. They are decorated with raffia tied into a bow around the neck. Based upon the photograph submitted which depicts the heart shaped boxes, we are unable to determine a classification without an actual sample.
