RE: The tariff classification of a Brush/Comb Combo Set from China.  

Dear Ms. Castrucci:

(c) which states: When goods cannot be classified by reference to 3(a) or 3(b) they shall be classified under the heading which occurs last in numerical order among those which equally merit consideration.  These items are the two combs and one plastic pick,  all classifiable in subheading 9615.11.3000, HTS, which provides for Combs, ...: Of hard rubber or plastics: Combs: ... Valued over $4.50 per gross: ... Other.  The rate of duty will be 28.8 cents gross plus 4.6% ad valorem. 

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