RE:  The tariff classification of a Perfume/Fragrance Pen- a
  Fiber     Tipped Wand- without fragrance from South Korea.

  Dear Ms. Garrity:

  In your letter dated May 9, 1991, you requested a tariff
  classification ruling.

  The prospective import, the Perfume/Fragrance Pen, is a two-
  part metal wand with a nylon fiber tip or nib inserted into the
  larger part.  Both sections of the wand screw together by means
  of a threaded metal and a rubber connector.

  The pen will be dipped into a bottle of perfume (not
  imported with the pen) to be dabbed on the person.

  The applicable subheading for the cosmetic pad or dabber
 will be 9616.20.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
 States (HTS), which provides for powder puffs and pads for the
 application of cosmetics or toilet preparations.  The rate of
 duty will be 8.5 percent ad valorem.

 Each item should be marked as clearly, legibly and indelibly
 as possibly with the proper country of origin.

 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.
