RE: The tariff classification of five personal adornment sets from Macau.

Dear Mr. Goris:

In your letter dated October 30, 1989 you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The prospective import is made up of 5 different "Just My Style" sets. These sets are to be used for personal adornment of young girls. The sets include:

Item #5932 which consists of a hair bow of textile material with a metal spring clasp; and a beaded necklace on an elastic band with a heart and star design intermingled with the beads.

Item #5933 which consists of a hair bow of a shiny textile material with a metal spring clasp; and a beaded necklace with a metal clasp.

Item #5934 which consists of a barrette made of plastic petals and imitation pearls attached to a metal spring clasp; a plastic bangle bracelet; and a string of imitation pearls with a metal clasp.

Item #5935 which consists of a hair bow of textile material with a metal spring clasp; two plastic bangle bracelets; and a beaded necklace on an elastic band with a plastic heart.

Item #5936 which consists of an imitation pearl barrette with a metal spring clasp; and an imitation pearl necklace with a metal clasp.

Item #5937 which consists of a hair bow of a shiny textile material with a metal spring clasp; a plastic bangle bracelet; and a necklace of base metal with a metal clasp and a plastic heart. Under the General Rules of Interpretation (G.R.I.) 3(c), when no essential character can be determined, the set will be classified under the item which appears last.

The applicable subheading for item #5932, 5933, 5935, 5936 and 5937 will be 9615.19.6000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other combs, hair-slides and the like, not of hard rubber or plastics. The duty rate will be 11 percent ad valorem.

The applicable subheading for item #5934 will be 9615.11.5000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other combs, hair-slides and the like, of hard rubber or plastics, set with imitation pearls or imitation gemstones. The duty rate will be 11 percent ad valorem.

Each item should be marked clearly, legibly and indelibly with the proper country of origin.

Articles classifiable under subheading 9615.19.6000 and 9615.11.5000, HTS, which are products of Macau are entitled to duty free treatment under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) upon compliance with all applicable regulations.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction.

Sincerely,

Jean F. Maguire
Area Director
