RE: The tariff classification of inflatable textile decorations from China
Dear Ms. Kessens:
In your letter dated August 12, 2015, you requested a tariff classification ruling on behalf of your client Dollar General Corporation.
You submitted samples of two textile inflatable hanging decorations, the Inflatable Easter Bunny and Inflatable Egg Head SKU# 16329901. Both decorations have a textile outer covering composed of polyester textile fabric. The first decoration is made to resemble an egg shaped rabbit’s head with floppy ears, the other decoration looks like an egg shaped chick with floppy wings. The textile outer coverings have an inflatable PVC balloon inside. The balloon is specially shaped to fill out the textile covering. Once inflated, the decorations can be hung using a length of looped ribbon sewn to the top of the decorations.
The applicable subheading for the Inflatable Easter Bunny and Inflatable Egg Head, SKU# 16329901, will be 6307.90.9889, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for other made up textile articles, other. The rate of duty will be 7% ad valorem.
