RE:  The tariff classification of a stationery set in a pencil
box from Taiwan.

Dear Ms. Webster:

     In your letter dated May 13, 1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.        
      
     The stationery set (Article No. 4755) consists of a
ballpoint pen, pencil, plastic ruler, eraser and a sharpener
packaged in a pencil box composed of molded plastics.  
     
     The applicable subheading for the stationery set will be
3923.10.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for articles for the conveyance or packing
of goods, of plastics; boxes, cases, crates and similar articles. 
The rate of duty will be 3 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,



                                             Jean F. Maguire
