The candle is decorated with fifteen yellow, blue, violet and tan colored wax tulips molded to its side. The applicable subheading for Item #19855, 6" Large Egg w/Embossed Tulips Candle, will be 9505.90.6000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, which provides for Festive, carnival or other entertainment articles, including magic tricks and practical joke articles; parts and accessories thereof: Other: Other. The rate of duty will be Free.
