Dear Ms. Wierbicki:
In your letter dated April 16, 2002, on behalf of Avon Products, Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The disc, which is designed to fit over the ring, measures approximately 7/8” by 1 ¼” with a ½” depth and incorporates a battery-operated circuit board with miniature lights to replicate a pretend laser weapon. The “light” can be operated to product a temporary pulse or continuous beam by use of a sliding tab.
Your sample is being returned as requested.
The applicable subheading for the Plastic “Glow Ring” will be 7117.90.7500, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Imitation jewelry: Other: Other: Valued over 20 cents per dozen pieces or parts: Other: Of plastics. The rate of duty will be free.
