RE:  The tariff classification of a Christmas tree ornament from China.
                                
                       Dear Mr. Rosbach:
                                
     In your letter dated May 14, 1996, you requested a tariff classification ruling.
                                
     The submitted sample is identified as item #94600, "Musical Jingle Bells".  This
plastic Christmas tree ornament is shaped like a small bell.  When the button located at the
top of the bell is pressed, Christmas music is played.  Inside the bell there are two small
bulbs that will blink while the music is playing.  A green cord is fastened through the button
at the top of the bell allowing the ornament to be hung.  The colors of this bell are red, gold
           and green.                                
                                
     The applicable subheading for the Musical Jingle Bells, will be 9505.10.2500,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for festive,...articles
for Christmas festivities and parts and accessories thereof: Christmas ornaments; other: other. 
               The rate of duty will be free.   
                                
     This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs
                  Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
                                
                                
                                
                                
     A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be provided with
the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported.  If you have any questions
