When the Tantooz is removed, up to three days after application, an image of the design will appear on the untanned skin which the Tantooz covered. As its name implies, the Tantooz is meant to simulate a tattoo. As you requested, your sample is being returned. The applicable subheading for the Tantooz will be 3919.90.5060, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for self-adhesive plates, sheets, film, foil, tape, strip and other flat shapes, of plastics, other. The rate of duty will be 5.8 percent ad valorem. 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.
