Product description
The submitted sample consists of two child’s Mini Jingle Bell Bracelets, Item 2481-27. The bracelets are made of red, green and gold tiny jingle bells strung onto a red elastic cord. When children wear them on their wrists and move their wrists back and forth, the bells produce a ringing sound that entertains them. The bracelets are attached to a hanging header card for retail sale. In your request you suggest classification in subheading 8306.10.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). Subheading 8306.10.0000 does not include articles that incorporate bells; therefore bracelets made of bells do not fall within this provision. Your sample is being returned as requested.
