RE: The tariff classification of decorative ceramic articles from China.
Dear Ms. Smith:
In your letter dated June 10, 1998, you requested a tariff classification
ruling. Sample is being returned as requested.
The sample and photos submitted depict the porcelain penguin family, stock
number 90575, which is a three-piece set of penguins, measuring approximately 3
3/4 inches to 4 inches high, that are dressed in a festive attire.
The applicable subheading for the porcelain penguin family will be
6913.10.5000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for other ornamental ceramic articles of porcelain. 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).
A copy of the ruling letter or the control number indicated above should be
provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is
