RE: The tariff classification of a Craftime "Fan Fans" set from
China.
Dear Mr. Kamnitz:
In your letter of May 10, 1990, you requested a tariff
classification ruling on a Craftime No. 9102 "Fan Fans" crafts
set from China.
The sample submitted is a crafts set containing four 5" x 8"
sheets of printed paper, eight plastic imitation gemstones (4
round; 4 pear-shaped), two pairs of base metal flat back clip-on
earrings, one base metal jewelry bar-pin, one base metal barrette
and a tube of non-toxic glue glaze. The foreign cost, including
retail packaging and amortization of start-up costs, is 97 cents
per set.
Instructions included with the set show a child how to make
earrings, a brooch or a hair clip, crafted either with small
squares or rectangles of blue patterned paper or pink paper cut
from the 5" x 8" sheets. The paper is folded accordion style to
resemble a fan, hence the name "Fan Fans". The folded paper fans
are glued to the metal findings and the imitation gemstones are
glued to the center of the paper thereby creating very ornamental
folded paper jewelry articles.
The applicable subheading for the "Fan Fans" folded paper
jewelry crafts set will be 7117.90.5000, Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for imitation
jewelry : other: other: valued over 20 cents per dozen pieces or
parts. The rate of duty will be 11% ad valorem.
The sample is being returned to you.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section
177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry
documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the
documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be
brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
transaction.
Sincerely,
Jean F. Maguire
Area Director
