RE:  The tariff classification of stoneware dinnerware from China.



Dear Mr. Roth:



     In your letter dated February 29, 1996, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.  



     The merchandise at issue is stoneware dinnerware that is

identified as in the patterns 213 Napoli Cobalt, 359 Florence, 526 Charleston,
528 Ventura, 774 Sunnyside. You state that the 5 piece completer set for each
pattern, which includes an oval platter, oval baker, large creamer and large
sugar with cover, is manufactured in Thailand with the remaining pieces for each
pattern manufactured in China.  The information submitted indicates that the
patterns are principally for household use and are "available in specified sets"
in accordance with Chapter 69, additional U.S. note 6(b) of the Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States, with an aggregate value of over $38.00. 



     The applicable subheading for the above stoneware dinnerware

sets will be 6912.00.39, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United

States (HTS), which provides for ceramic household tableware, other

than of porcelain or china, available in specified sets, in a

pattern for which the aggregate value of the articles listed in

additional U.S. note 6(b) of Chapter 69 is over $38.  The duty rate

will be 4.5 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 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 regarding the ruling, contact National

                                   Sincerely,
