RE:  The tariff classification of "Kissing Ball" Sachets from
Thailand 

Dear Mr. Arsenault: 

     In your letter dated June 28, 1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.

     Two samples of "Kissing Ball" Sachets were submitted with
your inquiry, and being returned as requested.  Sample #3 is a
round pouch composed of a cotton/polyester fabric, measuring 3
inches in diameter and filled with polyester fibers scented with
fragrance beads.  The sachet is decorated with a string closure
with teak wood beads at each end.  The sachet also has a sateen
ribbon securely attached to the top which can be used for
hanging.  Sample #4 is a round pouch made of sateen fabric
measuring 3 inches in diameter and filled with polyester fibers
scented with fragrance beads.  The sachet is covered with lace
and decorated with a string closure with teak wood beads at each
end.  The sachet also has a sateen ribbon securely attached to
the top which can be used for hanging.                 
     The applicable HTS subheading for "Kissing Ball" Sachets
will be 3307.90.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for other perfumery, cosmetic or
toilet preparations, not elsewhere specified or included.  The
duty rate will be 5.4 percent ad valorem.

     Articles classified in subheading 3307.90.0000, HTS, which
are products of Thailand are entitled to duty free treatment
under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) upon compliance
with all applicable regulations.
     
     This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section
177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

     A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry
documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported.  If the
documents have already been filed, this ruling should be brought
to the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction.



                                   Sincerely,
