RE: The tariff classification of temporary tattoos, from Taiwan.
Dear Ms. Knowles:
In your letter dated October 23, 1992, on behalf of your
client, Ja-Ru, Inc., you requested a tariff classification
ruling.
A sample was submitted, which you have asked to be returned.
It is a retail-sale package containing a single "tattoo", or
decalcomania, printed by a lithographic process, depicting a lion
running through a background of flames. The packaging contains
textual and pictorial instructions for applying and for removing
the tattoo, which may be used to decorate one's skin or various
articles of paper, metal, ceramics or textiles.
The applicable subheading for the Temporary Tattoos will be
4908.90.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for :Transfers (decalcomanias): Other than
Vitrifiable. The rate of duty will be 15.4 cents per kilo.
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
