Dear Ms. Liao:
In your letter dated October 27, 2015, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

This electronic device incorporates lights, a sound effects module and a sound sensor. It is powered by three AA batteries which are included. This device is used to provide Halloween style lighting and sound effects.
The applicable subheading for the “Pumpkin-Face” pathway markers (Item # 630323776) will be 8543.70.9650, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for “Electrical machines and apparatus, having individual functions, not specified or included elsewhere…: Other machines and apparatus: Other: Other: Other: Other.” The rate of duty will be 2.6%.
Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change. The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are provided on World Wide Web at http://www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
