Dear Ms. Phillips: In your letter dated March 29, 1990, you requested a tariff classification ruling. Submitted with your inquiry were three samples of window decorations. The three decorations represent a pumpkin, a ghost head and a cat head. The knitted articles, composed of rayon flocked cloth, tricot and sponge are flat, one dimensional and equipped with a hanging string and suction cup. The articles are approximately 5 x 6 inches. The ghost head, SK number 1683, is white, rounded and has black patches sewn on to represent eyes and a mouth. The pumpkin, SK number 1684, is orange, rounded and has yellow patches designed to simulate a traditional "Jack O Lantern". The final sample, SK number 1685, is black, rounded, has cat ears and yellow and black patch eyes with a black patch nose and sewn on whiskers. The applicable subheading for the pumpkin, cat and the ghost stick-on decorations will be 9505.90.6000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for festive, carnival and other entertainment articles: other: other. The duty rate will be 3.1 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.
