RE: The tariff classification of an Effervescent Bath Ball from Canada and United Kingdom

Dear Mr. Andrews:

In your letter dated March 23, 1998 you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The bath balls are composed of citric acid, sodium bicarbonate, sodium carbonate, propylene glycol, canola oil, fragrance and colorants. The ball, intended for use in the tub, dissolves in the bath water in 5 minutes.

The applicable subheading for the Effervescent Bath Ball will be 3307.30.5000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Perfumed bath salts and other bath preparations: Other. The rate of duty will be 4.9 percent ad valorem.

Cosmetic and toiletry products may be subject to the regulations of the Food and Drug Administration. You may contact them at 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, Maryland 20857, telephone number (301) 443-3380.

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