Box 9114 East Boston, MA 02128-9114 RE: The tariff classification of a "Watering Can Candle" from China. Dear Mr. Arria: In your letter dated September 28, 1999, you request a tariff classification ruling. The sample that you submit, "Watering Can Candle", consists of a scented white colored candle poured into a green colored metal watering can that measures approximately 3-1/2" in height and 3" in diameter. The watering can has a spout that measures approximately 2-3/4" in length x 1/4" in diameter with a 1-1/4" diameter nozzle and a side handle that measures approximately 3" in length and 1/2" in width. In our opinion, the "Watering Can Candle" is a composite good for Customs purposes, and under The General Rules of Interpretation (GRI) for the Harmonized Tariff Schedule, the watering can conveys the essential character. GRI 3(b) noted. The applicable subheading for the "Watering Can Candle" will be 8306.29.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, which provides for statuettes and other ornaments, of base metal, other.
