RE:  The tariff classification of ceramic figurines from Japan.

Dear Ms. Gibson:

     In your letter dated August 29, 1991, on behalf of Walt
Disney World, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

     The samples submitted are five earthenware figurines which
consist of the following "Walt Disney" characters:  "Cinderella",
item number 0151-19410, measuring approximately 5.5" high;
"Alice", item number 0151-19420, measuring nearly 6" high; and
three of the seven dwarfs, "Bashful", "Sneezy"  and "Grumpy"
(item numbers 0151-19405, 0151-19406 and 0151-19407 respective-
ly), each measuring about 2.5" long.

     The applicable subheading for these "Walt Disney" figurines
will be 6913.90.5000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for statuettes and other ornamental
ceramic articles.  The rate of duty will be 7 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
