Dear Ms Andrews:
In your letter dated June 17, 1998, you requested a tariff classification
ruling regarding napkin rings in the shape of cherubs and snowmen (Styles

In your letter you stated that the napkin rings are made of powdered stone
agglomerated with plastics resin.
The subheading for the agglomerated stone napkin rings will be

provides for articles of artificial stone: other: other. The rate of duty will
be one 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. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National
