RE:	The tariff classification of  imitation jewelry from Canada.

Dear Ms. Kolk-Hobson:

	In your letter dated December 15, 1995, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

	You request a ruling on various items identified as bracelets, brooches, earrings, hairpieces, handcrafted wood hairpieces, haircombs and table top decorations.  You have supplied five samples.  These samples are pictured in the accompanying photo brochure as items #103 copper twisted bracelet, #110 brass crimped brooch, #112.1B copper crimped oxidized brooch, #115 aluminum brooch and #121.2C copper crimped patinated earrings.  Items #110 and #112.1B are  
are brooches with attached leather ropes and separate stick pins.  These items are indicated to be 4 in one items.  The brooches can be used alone, with the stick pins or  with the leather ropes as pendants.  The stick pins can be used separately as pins.  Items #103, #115 and # 121.2C are one use items.
 
	Your samples are being returned as requested.

	The applicable subheading for the five samples will be 7117.19.9000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Imitation jewelry: Of base metal, whether or not plated with precious metal: Other: Other: Other.  The rate of duty will be 11% ad valorem.   

	If you want rulings on the other items shown in your photo brochure, please submit another request with appropriate samples.  Please do not submit more than five items per ruling request.

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