RE: The tariff classification of the Raggedy Ann & Andy Clock
Dear Mr. Novak:
In your letter dated August 18, 1998 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The Raggedy Ann & Andy Figurine Clock, model number SNOP04,
is a polyresin clock which is part of the Snowden series. This
item is a three dimensional representation of Raggedy Ann and
Andy, dressed in red, green and white clothing. The clock is
inserted into a heart shape which is held by Raggedy Ann.
The Raggedy Ann and Andy motif is not connected with
Christmas, or any other holiday. This item is not considered to
be a festive article for tariff classification purposes.
The applicable subheading for the Raggedy Ann & Andy
Figurine Clock, model SNOP04, will be 9103.10.40, Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for
clocks with watch movements, electrically operated, other, having
no jewels or only one jewel in the movement. The rate of duty
will be 26 cents each plus 5 percent on the case plus 3.9 percent
on the battery.
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 Barbara
