RE:  The tariff classification of stoneware dinnerware from China.



Dear Mr. Wright:



     In your letter dated May 7, 1996, you requested a tariff classification
ruling.  



     The merchandise at issue is stoneware dinnerware that is

identified as in the Alfresco  pattern.  The information submitted indicates
that the pattern is principally for household use and is "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 Alfresco pattern stoneware dinnerware
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).
