Dear Ms. Welch:
In your letter dated November 14, 1997, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The submitted sample, item number A114387R, is referred to as
an Achillea Pick. The sample is composed of styrofoam buds which
are attached to a plastic coated wire by the slip-on/snap-on method
of construction.
The applicable subheading for the Achillea Pick will be
6702.10.4000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for artificial flowers..., of plastics,
other, including parts. The rate of duty will be 3.4 percent ad
valorem.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177
of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above
should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this
merchandise is imported.
Sincerely,
Kathleen Haage
