Dear Ms. Tsiavos: In your letter dated February 13, 2017, you requested a tariff classification ruling. You have submitted a sample, identified as the Child Size Skeleton Pirate Costume, item number 132462, which consists of a man-made knit textile pullover, a waist sash, gloves and a 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.” The flimsy pullover imparts the essential character of the set and features raw, jagged cut edges with hanging threads on the sleeves, hem and “front opening.” The “front opening” of the pullover displays an EVA foam patch depicting 3D skeletal bones of the chest, ribs and spine. The large back opening has raw unfinished edges and is closed by small hook and loop tabs. The costume will also be imported under item numbers 132461 in toddler size, 132463 in teen size, 132024 in adult size and 132025 in adult plus size.
