N003039 November 15, 2006 CLA-2-95:RR:NC:N2:225 CATEGORY: Classification TARIFF NO.: 9505.90.6000 Mr. Lane Fragomeli Paper Magic Group 345 Seventh Avenue, 6th Floor New York, NY 10019 RE: The tariff classification of a costume from China. Dear Mr. Fragomeli: In your letter dated October 24, 2006, you requested a tariff classification ruling. You submitted a photograph of the following costume, which meets the flimsy, non-durable requirements. It is the same as an item ruled on in New York Ruling M86467, just different sizes. Item numbers 6801025 2t and 6801026 3t-4t, Fire Ninja, are two sizes of a textile costume that consists of a jumpsuit, a hood and an apron, with the jumpsuit imparting the essential character. Although the jumpsuit has styling (multiple layer waist flap), a well-made neck and a well-made belt embellishment, it has a flimsy waist and seams, a flimsy hook and loop tab closure and flimsy edges at the arms, ankles, closure and waist flap. The applicable subheading for 6801025 2t and 6801026 3t-4t, Fire Ninja, will be 9505.90.6000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), 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. Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change. The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are provided on World Wide Web at http://www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/.
