RE:  The tariff classification of toy eyeglasses from Taiwan
     
Dear Ms. Balice:
     
In your letter dated November 21, 1995, you requested a tariff classification 
ruling. 
     
The sample provided with your letter is designated as item #66620 and identified
as "St. Patrick's Day Lucky Glasses."   The article is toy eyewear made of 
sponge material colored in green.  The rims around the eyes are shaped like four
leaf clovers.  The eyeglasses are worn to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.  You 
state the port of entry for the product will be through Chicago.
     
The applicable subheading for the toy eyewear will be 9503.90.0030, Harmonized 
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for "Other toys...: 
Other: Other: Other toys (except models), not having a spring mechanism."  The 
rate of duty will be free. 
     
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,
     
     
                              (signed)
