Dear Ms. Trotta: In your letter dated February 19, 2015, you requested a tariff classification ruling. As requested, the sample submitted will be returned to you. Item number 20418, is the Scunci® “hair gems.” The hair gems are small star shaped ornaments made of 100% aluminum. There are two sheets to a package and approximately 20 stars to a sheet. The stars are designed to be placed on the hair with the aid of a clear sticker, which is then heated with a hot iron or curling iron for four seconds. After heating, the clear sticker is pulled off, adhering the stars to one’s hair. To remove the stars brush out gently or apply conditioner and brush out while wet. The applicable subheading for the aluminum, hair gems, will be 8306.29.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for “Bells, gongs and the like, nonelectric, of base metal; statuettes and other ornaments, of base metal; photograph, picture or similar frames, of base metal; mirrors of base metal; and base metal parts thereof: statuettes and other ornaments, and parts thereof: Other.” The rate of duty will be free.
