Dear Mr. August: In your letter dated April 19, 2005, you requested a tariff classification ruling. You submitted the following samples: Item 5080/5080H, Adult Bat Beauty, is a textile costume that consists of a velvet cape, a black dress, a separate collar, and a sequin outlined facemask, with the cape imparting the essential character. Although the cape has a well-made neck, it has a flimsy string tie closure and visible raw edges at the hem and closure. The costume is packaged in a polybag with a photo insert. Item 5080H is the same costume packaged on a hanger with a photo insert. Item 5111/5111H, Adult Gothic Tutu, is a textile tutu that has well-made ruffles styling, but flimsy construction of the waist and seams, flimsy elastic sewn directly to the fabric at the bottom, and raw edges at the hem. The tutu is packaged in a polybag with a photo insert. Item 5111H is the same tutu packaged on a hanger with a photo insert. Item 1667/1667H, Teen Gauze Zombie With Fading Eyes, is the same textile costume (except sized for a teenager) previously pre-classified as item 5426 in PC J80969, dated March 26, 2003. The costume is packaged in a polybag with a photo insert. Item 1667H is the same costume packaged on a hanger with a photo insert. Item 5756/5756H, Plus Size Goth Priest, is the same textile costume (except plus sized) previously pre-classified as item 5440 in PC K82316, dated February 6, 2004. The costume is packaged in a polybag with a photo insert. Item 5756H is the same costume packaged on a hanger with a photo insert.
