RE: The Tariff Classification of A “Wag A Flag” from China or Taiwan.

Dear Ms. Denny:

In your letter dated April 8, 2004, on behalf of Axxion Group Corp., you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The submitted sample consists of a plastic framework, which contains a handle to wave, or “wag” the item. When “wagged”, the item displays a lighted American flag, patriotic messages and plays patriotic tunes.

You suggested 9505.90.6000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), as a festive article. The flag of the United States is not a symbol of only one holiday and therefore cannot be classified as a festive article.

The applicable subheading for the “Wag A Flag” will be 8543.89.9695, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other electrical machines and apparatus, , not specified or included elsewhere in Chapter 85, HTS. The rate of duty will be 2.6 percent ad valorem.

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

A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If you have
any questions regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist David Curran at 646-733-3017.

Sincerely,

Robert B. Swierupski
Director,
