Six of the sheets are lithographically printed “award certificates” bearing headings that read “Congratulations,” “Good Work!” or “Happy Birthday,” accompanied by a picture or design and spaces for the entry of a name and date. Each “certificate” is perforated near the bound edge to facilitate removal from the pad. The other four sheets hold a number of die-cut, pressure-sensitive paper stickers, which are lithographically printed with words or phrases such as “Super!” “Way to go,” etc., or with “smiley faces.” The applicable subheading for item #458710 will be 4911.99.6000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other (non-enumerated) printed matter, printed on paper in whole or in part by a lithographic process. The rate of duty will be 0.1%. This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177). A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported.
