RE:  The tariff classification of a Fun Pack pen and pad from Taiwan

Dear Ms. Webster:

     In your letter dated May 19, 1991 you requested a tariff classification
ruling.
         
     The sample Fun Pack that you submitted consists of a decorative pen with
water and sparkles displayed in its barrel, a small memo pad, and a plastic
carrying case. 

     The  applicable subheading for the Fun Pack pen, pad and plastic case
will be 9608.10.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS),
which provides for ball point pens.  The rate of duty will be .8 cents each
and 5.4 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,
