RE: The tariff classification of costumes from China.

Dear Mr. Williams:

In your letter dated October 30, 2006, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.

You have requested rulings on the following textile costumes, which meet
the flimsy, non-durable requirements for classification within Chapter
95 and are being returned to you upon your request.

Style A2033, Princess Dark Heart, is a textile costume set that consists
of a dress, a front insert, a collar and a hoop skirt, with the dress
imparting the essential character. Although the dress has styling (a
bust line, a multiple layer skirt and a dropped waist), a well-made neck
and well-made lace trim embellishments, it has a flimsy waist and seams,
flimsy thin elastics at the arms, a flimsy hook and loop tab closure and
flimsy edges at the arms, bottom and closure.

Style B2047, Evil Queen, is a textile costume set that consists of a
dress, a front insert and a hoop skirt, with the dress imparting the
essential character. Although the dress has styling (raglan sleeves,
multiple layer skirt and collar and a dropped waist), well-made edges at
the collar and well-made brooch and red ribbon piping embellishments, it
has a flimsy neck, waist and seams, a flimsy hook and loop tab closure
and flimsy edges at the arms, bottom and closure.

Style A2047, Evil Princess, is a textile costume set that consists of a
dress, a front insert and a hoop skirt, with the dress imparting the
essential character. Although the dress has styling (raglan sleeves,
multiple layer skirt and collar and a dropped waist), well-made edges at
the collar and well-made brooch and red ribbon piping embellishments, it
has a flimsy neck, waist and seams, a flimsy hook and loop tab closure
and flimsy edges at the arms, bottom and closure.

Style B2064, Dark Empiress, is a textile costume set that consists of a
dress, a front insert, armlets and a hoop skirt, with the dress
imparting the essential character. Although the dress has styling (a
bust line and multiple layer collar and skirt), a well-made neck,
well-made edges at the arms and closure and a well-made brooch
embellishment, it has a flimsy waist and seams, flimsy thin elastics at
the back, a flimsy hook and loop tab closure and flimsy edges at the
bottom, closure and collar.

Style A2079, Devilish Princess, is a textile costume set that consists
of a dress, a front insert, gloves, a collar and a hoop skirt, with the
dress imparting the essential character. Although the dress has styling
(multiple layer skirt and shawl), a well-made neck and well-made brooch
and ribbon embellishments, it has a flimsy waist and seams, a flimsy
hook and loop tab closure and flimsy edges at the arms, bottom, closure
and shawl.
