RE: The tariff classification of a doll from China
Dear Ms. Hagarman:
In your letter dated August 2, 1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling on behalf of your client Great American Fun
Corporation.
The sample submitted is known as, the "Amazing Flying
Witch", item number FW01. The witch measures approximately 8
inches in height. Her head, hands and legs are made of soft
vinyl while the torso is made of hard plastic. She is riding a
broom which has a small plastic propeller extending from the
bristle portion. The doll will be retail packed with a plastic
hat, cape and packet containing a line, hook, screws and double
sided adhesive square. The witch operates on two "AA" batteries
(not included). The intended use of the doll is to be suspended
from a ceiling by means of a line attachment and, when activated,
the propeller spins causing the witch to fly in a circular
motion. Your sample is being returned as requested.
The applicable subheading for the "Amazing Flying Witch"
will be 9502.10.4000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for dolls representing only human
beings and parts and accessories thereof: whether or not dressed:
other: not over 33 cm in height. The duty rate will be 12
percent ad valorem.
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
