RE: The tariff classification of glass banks from China.
Dear Mr. Camm:
In your letter dated December 18, 2015, you requested a tariff classification ruling for “Glass Banks”. Five samples were submitted with your ruling request.
The subject merchandise, “Glass Banks”, are identified as “Mom’s Night Out” (MMJB-16A), Spare Change (MMJB-16B), “Shoe Fund” (MMJB-16C), “Fun Money” (MMJB-16D) and “Vacation Fund” (MMJB-16E).
The items are banks made from clear glass jars which have been design-printed and labeled as “Mom’s Night Out”, “Spare Change”, “Shoe Fund”, “Fun Money” or “Vacation Fund”. The glass jars measure approximately 6 inches high x 3 inches wide x 2.5 inches deep. Each glass article features a color coordinated metal screw-on lid closure and ribbon tied at the mouth of the jar. The items are designed to store coins and paper money which will be deposited through a slot in the lid closure. The “Glass Banks” will be displayed in a corrugated shelf display box and are available for individual retail sale.
You indicated in your letter that the unit value is over thirty cents but not over three dollars.
