2.5 inches in height by 3.75 inches in width. It is made of
clear glass with a heart shaped design in the center. It
contains a plastic cap and a finger actuated plastic pump sprayer
that's enclosed in a blue textile netting material. You
indicated that this article will be used to hold and spray
perfume.
The applicable subheading for the perfume atomizer bottle
will be 9616.10.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for scent sprayers and similar
toilet sprayers, and mounts and heads thereof. The rate of duty
