La Cienega Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90045 RE: The tariff classification of costume from China, Hong Kong and Vietnam. Dear Mr. Gomez: In your letter dated May 28, 2020, you requested a tariff classification ruling on behalf of your client, California Costume, Inc. You submitted a child size sample, identified as the Healthcare Hero costume, item numbers 3220-147 and SP 3220-147, which consists of a jacket, pullover top, pull-on pants, cap, surgical mask and plastic stethoscope. 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 long-sleeved jacket imparts the essential character and is constructed with large, loose, single straight stitched seams. The sleeves and hem bottom feature raw, unfinished edges with hanging threads. The jacket hangs open and has no closure. The applicable subheading for the Healthcare Hero costume, item numbers 3220-147 and SP 3220-147 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.
