The sample that you submit, a "pumpkin shaped candle," is an orange colored scented candle poured into a wax container that measures approximately 3-1/8" in height and 4-1/8" in diameter and is shaped like a deep ridged goblet.

The Department of Commerce has determined that petroleum wax candles in the following shapes: tapers, spirals, and straight-sided dinner candles; rounds, columns, pillars, votives; and various wax-filled containers are within the scope of the antidumping duty order on petroleum wax candles from China. In our opinion, the above described sample is within the scope of the antidumping duty order on petroleum wax candles from China. This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
