RE: The tariff classification of a decorative tealight holder from China
Dear Ms. Davis:
In your letter dated February 2, 2021 you requested a tariff classification ruling.
The article under consideration is described as a “decorative metal/glass/wood tealight holder”. This item features three decorative metal trees, resembling pine trees, standing on a wooden base. Attached near the bottom of each tree is a metal ring that holds a glass tealight holder. The center metal tree, which is slightly taller than the other two, has a metal ring and glass tealight holder on both the front and back sides. There are 2 artificial pine sprigs with three berries and 3 small pinecones attached to the wooded base on both the front and back sides of this decorative object. The item is 14 inches high, 9.5 inches wide, 7 inches wide and weighs 2.7 pounds. The metal predominates by value and provides the decorative focal point of this item. Tealights are not included.
The applicable subheading for the decorative metal/glass/wood tealight holder will be 8306.29.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, (HTSUS), which provides for Bells, gongs and the like, nonelectric, of base metal…Statuettes and other ornaments, and parts thereof: Other, Other. The rate of duty will be free.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
