RE: The tariff classification of a quartz digital wrist watch/pendant watch from China.

Dear Ms. Powers:

In your letter dated February 14, 1995, on behalf of Hope Industries, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The submitted sample, Item #66211, "The Swan Princess Interchangeable Watch & Locket Watch," is a child's wrist watch/pendant watch with calendar function containing a battery- operated, solid state, electronic watch movement with a liquid crystal display (LCD) in a plastic case with a plastic bracelet. The heart-shaped watch case opens to reveal the opto-electronic display on one side and a mirror on the other. The plastic bracelet consists of a double row of imitation pearls and can be detached from the watch case. The top cover of the watch case depicts a swan and a prince and princess in the form of a hologram. A plastic bow adorns the top of the watch case.

A textile neckcord, which is included in the blister package, can be attached to the watch case to create a pendant watch.

Your sample is being returned as requested.

The wrist watch imparts the essential character of this composite article.

The applicable subheading for the wrist watch will be 9102.12.80, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for wrist watches...battery powered...with opto-electronic display only. The rate of duty will be 3.1% on the movement and case plus 4.2% on the battery.
