You are requesting the tariff classification on a product that is designated as item # W68L0255. The item is a crayon with a rigid plastic outer surface (sheath). As the crayon is used for coloring, you may twist the barrel end to refresh the crayon point. The sample will be returned, as requested by your office. The applicable subheading for the twist crayons, item # W68L0255, will be 9609.10.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for pencils and crayons, with leads encased in a rigid sheath. The rate of duty will be 14 ¢ / gross + 4.3 % ad valorem. Please note that the specific rate (14 ¢ / gross) applies to each component in the set, and not just to the pencils. You have asked whether this product is subject to antidumping duties or countervailing duties.
