Dear Ms. Wong: In your letter dated July 8, 2004, you requested a tariff classification ruling. You submitted the following samples: “6ct. Easter Egg Filler” consists of six plastic colored eggs (beige, blue, pink, yellow, green, and purple) packaged together in a polybag with a cardboard header. Each egg measures approximately 3 inches in height and 2 inches in diameter and can be opened in half. The plastic colored eggs are considered appropriate symbols of Easter and will be marketed and sold as items used for the home for the Easter holiday. “Easter Bunny Egg Filler” is an article with a clear plastic bunny head and a pink plastic egg body. It measures approximately 3-1/4 inches in height and 2-1/4 inches in diameter and can be opened in half. The bunny head depicts the features of a bunny including whiskers, a pink nose, and two upright ears. The egg body has the outline of paws and is flat on the bottom, so that the article sits up. The combination of the bunny and colored egg body identifies the article as the Easter bunny, which is an appropriate symbol of Easter. The item will be marketed and sold as an item used for the home for the Easter holiday. The applicable subheading for the “6ct. Easter Egg Filler” and the “Easter Bunny Egg Filler” will be 9505.90.6000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for "Festive, carnival or other entertainment articles, including magic tricks and practical joke articles; parts and accessories thereof: Other: Other."
