Dear Ms. Pearson: In your letter dated April 25, 2002, you requested a tariff classification ruling. You are requesting the tariff classification on three different products. The first, item number 80473, is a stuffed teddy bear door hanger. The hanger is decorated with a stuffed teddy bear head in a fabric cape and a bow. The teddy bear is wearing a Santa hat trimmed with an artificial holly sprig. The Santa hat has an opening that allows the hanger to slip over a doorknob. The product is sold only during the Christmas holiday season. The second item is designated as item # T59236. It is a terra cotta hanging decoration that is adorned by pine boughs and pinecones. This product is designed to be hung either indoors or outdoors to decorate for the Christmas season. It will be sold only during the retail Christmas season. A sample of the teddy bear hanger was provided, but the terra cotta hanging decoration was depicted in a photo only. Both of these items will be classified in Chapter 95 as other Christmas ornaments. The third and final product is identified as item number T01799. The enclosed photo shows a glass lantern that is decorated with pine trees and stars etched into the glass. The item has a metal frame, and is designed to hold a regular size candle or a votive candle. It could decorate a tabletop or could serve as a hanging outdoor decoration on a path or deck area.
