Each doll, representing a human being and ranging from five to eleven inches, will have porcelain arms, legs and head. The body of the doll will be the classic baggy jumpsuit of a clown.

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.
