Dear Ms. Garrity:

Attached to the inside of the cap is a brass stick that will be used as a perfume applicator.  A nylon tassel adorns the top of the cap.  Based upon the  information and sample you provided, the brass components of this article represent the preponderant constituent material.

	The applicable subheading for the perfume bottle will be 7418.19.2090, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for table, kitchen or other household articles and parts thereof, of copper, other, other, of copper-zinc based alloys (brass), other.  The rate of duty will be 3.4 percent ad valorem.   

	This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
