Dear Mr. Singh: In your letter dated February 2, 2015, you requested a tariff classification ruling. The submitted sample, identified as the 24” Kids Metallic Cape with Reversible Mask, style number DF-10706 (O/S), consists of a cape and an eye mask. GRI 3(b) is applicable when goods are, prima facie, classifiable under two or more headings, and have been put up in sets for retail sale. GRI 3(b) states that the goods “shall be classified as if they consisted of the material or component which gives them their essential character.” In this case, the flimsy cape imparts the essential character of the set. The cape features visible loose overlock stitching around the edges and a hook and loop tab closure at the neck. The applicable subheading for style number DF-10706 (O/S) 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.
