Powers Lane Aurora, CO 80015 RE: The tariff classification of a flimsy costume from China. Dear Mr. Williams: In your letter dated June 6, 2007, you requested a tariff classification ruling. You have requested a ruling on the following costume, which meets the flimsy, non-durable requirements for classification within Chapter 95 and is being returned upon your request. Style D2102 R1, Inked Demon, is a textile costume set that consists of a coat, a flimsy shirt and tattoo sleeves with printed demonic imagery, with the coat imparting the essential character. The coat is made of knit polyester fabric coated with a compact polyurethane plastic material. The coat has short sleeves trimmed with grommets and laces, a pointed collar and a full front opening that closes left over right. Although the coat has two styling features, a well-made neck and two well-made embellishments, it has flimsy and loose overlock stitched seams, a flimsy hook and loop tab closure and flimsy and loose overlock stitching at the arms, collar, lapels, bottom and closure edge. The applicable subheading for style D2102 R1, Inked Demon, 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."
