RE:	The tariff classification of an article of sand from Canada



Dear Mr. Young: 



	This is in response to your request for a tariff classification ruling,
which was received by Customs on October 31, 1995, on a product called the Onit
balloon anchor. Two samples were submitted with your request.

	

	The Onit balloon anchor is a weight designed to secure up to a dozen 11
inch helium filled latex balloons. The balloon anchor is made by filling a latex
balloon with sand. The neck of the balloon is secured by a one inch white
plastic closure. The anchor is then wrapped with either a 14 inch die cut cello
circle or a 13 inch metallized foil(mylar)circle which is then held together by
an elastic rubberband.  A satin/polyester white bow is hot glued to the elastic
rubberband providing a decorative finishing touch.



	The applicable subheading for the Onit balloon anchor will be 6815.99.4000,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for
articles of stone or of other mineral substances (including articles of peat),
not elsewhere specified or included: other: other.  The rate of duty will be 3.6
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
Import Specialist Jacob Bunin at 212-466-5796.
