The 1”-square stickers are printed with assorted pictures and designs generally relating to Easter and/or the spring season. They are approximately 0.10 mm in thickness, and appear to have been printed by a lithographic process. You state that they are “advertised to be used in decorating envelopes, notebooks, cards, mirrors, gift packages, calendars, school papers and invitations.” The applicable subheading for the #6209500 “Standard Easter Stickers” will be 4911.91.2040, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for printed pictures, designs and photographs…lithographs on paper or paperboard: not over 0.51 mm in thickness...other than posters. The rate of duty will be 2.6 cents per kilogram. Your letter indicated that three (3) additional samples representing other types of stickers were enclosed.
