Navidad Disguise, Inc. 11906 Tech Center Court Poway, CA 92064 RE: The tariff classification of a costume from China. Dear Ms. Navidad: In your letter dated July 12, 2006, you requested a tariff classification ruling. You submitted a sample of a French Maid Costume identified as style 1108, which is a textile costume set that meets the flimsy, non-durable requirements for classification within Chapter 95 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTSUS) and is being returned upon your request. The French Maid Costume consists of a dress, an apron, cuffs and a headpiece with the dress imparting the essential character. Although the dress has two styling features (raglan sleeves and multiple layers), it has a flimsy neck, waist and seams, flimsy thin elastics at the arms and flimsy edges at the arms and hem. The applicable subheading for the French Maid Costume identified as style 1108 will be 9505.90.6000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for “Festive, carnival or other entertainment articles, including magic tricks and practical joke articles; parts and accessories thereof: Other: Other." The rate of duty will be Free. Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change. The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are provided on World Wide Web at http://www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/.      Please note that separate Federal Trade Commission marking requirements exist regarding country of origin, fiber content, and other information that must appear on many textile items.
