The sample submitted, identified as a "Golf Accessory Kit"
consists of a nylon fitted case containing an "Analog" watch,
lead pencil, golf score card, spike cleaner and golf tees. The
case is a container as described in GRI-5(a), therefore it is
classified with the contents. The value of the case is prorated
over the contents. For classification purposes the items are not
considered to be a set and will be classified accordingly. Your
sample is being returned as you requested.

(HTS), which provides for other printed matter, printed on paper
in whole or in part by a lithographic process. The rate of duty
will be 0.2 percent ad valorem.
The applicable subheading for the spike cleaner will be
8205.59.8000, HTSUSA, which provides for handtools, other, other,
other. The rate of duty will be 4 percent ad valorem.
The applicable for the golf tees will be 9506.39.0080,
HTSUSA, which provides for "Golf clubs and other golf equipment,
parts and accessories thereof": Other. The rate of duty will be
4.9 percent ad valorem.
The applicable subheading for the pencil will be
