Dear Mr. Murphy: In your letter dated October 29, 1998, on behalf of your client Cardinal, Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling. You have submitted a sample that is identified as style no. G6294, "Christmas Candle Holder". The sample is made of resin material. It is approximately 7 inches in diameter and approximately 4 inches high. The inside of the candle holder is designed to hold a candle that measures approximately 4 inches in diameter. The outer portion of the candle holder is designed with one Santa and his bag of toys standing by the chimney, another Santa sits in his sleigh full of toys and gifts, drawn by three reindeer. Other decorations include Christmas trees, snowmen, gifts and a dog. The candle holder is for use in celebration and entertainment during the Christmas holidays. Although some of the figures are uncolored in the rear, when the candle is in place, the Santa, sleigh and reindeer figures appear to be three dimensional representations of recognized festive motifs. The sample is returned as you requested. The applicable subheading for the "Christmas Candle Holder" will be 9505.10.5020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for...articles for Christmas festivities and parts and accessories thereof: other, other.
