RE:	The tariff classification of Christmas tree light sets from China.



Dear Ms. Webster:



	In your letter dated July 25, 1996, you requested a tariff classification
ruling.  



     The samples submitted are two Christmas tree light sets which consist of
the following: a 10 foot electrical light cord containing 5 bulbs, known as the
"5 in 1 Light Cord" (style number T13428), and a 5 foot electrical light cord
containing    3 bulbs, known as the "3 in 1 Light Cord" (style number T13412).
              

     Although you state that these articles will be utilized to illuminate the
interior portions of miniature porcelain villages, it has been determined that
these light sets are of the same class or kind of merchandise that will be used
as Christmas tree light sets, and, therefore, properly classified as such. 

	

     The applicable subheading for these Christmas tree light sets, style
numbers T13428 and T13412, will be 9405.30.00, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), which provides for lighting sets of a kind used for
Christmas trees.  The rate of duty will be 8 percent ad valorem.   



	This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs
Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).















	A copy of the ruling letter 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
