RE:  The tariff classification of a doll's diaper changing set   
     from China

Dear Mr. Goris:

        In your letter dated April 8, 1991, you requested a
tariff classification ruling.  

        The sample submitted, item number 4085, is called
"Puffalump Kids Soft Changing Bag".   The article is a doll's
diaper changing set consisting of a bag, doll diaper, a baby wipe
container, a powder bottle, plastic nail clippers and toy
pendants.  The bag is made of textile material and unfolds into
an activity center.  The toy pendants may be attached to the
handle of the bag which remains standing when the bag is opened
to form a play gym.  The imitation baby wipe container and powder
bottle are made of plastic.  The oversized fake nail clippers,
also made of plastic, make a clicking sound when the lever is
pressed.  Two storage pockets are sewn into the bag for securely
holding the various items.  The article folds back into a bag by
means of "VELCRO" closures.  Your sample is being returned as 
requested.        

        The applicable subheading for item number 4085 will be
9503.70.8000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other toys, put up in sets or outfits,
and parts and accessories thereof: other: other.  The duty rate
will be 6.8 percent ad valorem.       

        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 been filed without a copy, this ruling
should be brought to the attention of the Customs officer
handling the transaction.


                                 Sincerely,
