Dear Ms. Tsiavos: In your letter dated March 16, 2015, you requested a tariff classification ruling. The submitted sample, identified as the Authentic Commando Costume, consists of a cap and a jumpsuit. GRI 3(b) is applicable when goods are, prima facie, classifiable under two or more headings, and have been put up in sets for retail sale. GRI 3(b) states that the goods “shall be classified as if they consisted of the material or component which gives them their essential character.” The flimsy jumpsuit imparts the essential character of the set. The jumpsuit features visible loose overlock stitching at the collar, sleeves, pant legs and front opening, as well as hook and loop tabs at the front opening. The Authentic Commando Costume will be imported under item numbers 131962 and 131962H. The applicable subheading for the Authentic Commando Costume 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.
