The larger box measures approximately 9 inches by 7 inches by 2 1/8 inches. This box is printed with the product name and with holiday greetings along the top, including, “Felices Fiestas – Happy Holidays – Joyeuses Fetes – Frohliche Weihnachten – I Nostri Migliori Auguri Di Buone Feste.” The applicable subheading for the perfume gift boxes will be 3923.10.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for articles for the conveyance or packing of goods, of plastics: boxes, cases, crates and similar articles.
