You indicated in your letter that each figurine is composed of crushed stone powder agglomerated with plastics resins.
The applicable subheading for the agglomerated stone bear figurines will be 6810.99.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for articles of artificial stone…other articles: other. The rate of duty will be free.
