Dear Mr. Carroll: In your letter dated December 29, 2003, you requested a tariff classification ruling. Four samples were submitted for our examination. Each is a shrink-wrapped retail packet containing one small (4½” x 5¾”) sheet of die-cut, pressure-sensitive paper stickers. Three of the samples, 879200-B02 (“Lips”), 879200-B03 (“Doilies”) and 879200-B04 (“60s Flowers”) are lithographically printed with assorted valentine-related designs. The fourth sample, 879200-B01 (“Red Hearts”), consists of heart shapes printed with a repetitive, sparkly red pattern. All of the stickers are suitable for use as decorative seals on gift packages, envelopes, etc., but can also be used for ornamentation on miscellaneous other items. The applicable subheading for the 879200-B02 and 879200-B03 and 879200-B04 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 free. The applicable subheading for the 879200-B01 stickers will be 4823.90.6600, HTS, which provides for other (than certain enumerated) coated paper…cut to size or shape, and articles of such paper. The rate of duty will be free. This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
