La Cienega Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90045 RE: The tariff classification of a costume from China and Vietnam. Dear Mr. Gomez: In your letter dated June 15, 2022, you requested a tariff classification ruling on behalf of your client, California Costume, Inc. You submitted an adult size costume, identified as Mayflower Pilgrim Lady, item number 5023-003, which consists of a long-sleeved pullover dress, separate collar, sash with buckle, apron, and hat. 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 man-made textile, faux two-piece dress imparts the essential character of the set and features a deep back opening with unfinished edges, which is closed by a single set of small hook and loop tabs. The exposed elastic at the waist is sewn directly to the fabric with large, loose single straight stitching. Both the hem bottom of the faux top and the skirt are raw and unfinished. The dress is constructed with long, loose straight stitching. The applicable subheading for the Mayflower Pilgrim Lady costume, item number 5023-003, 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 the World Wide Web at https://hts.usitc.gov/current.
