RE:  The tariff classification of a music box from Taiwan.

Dear Ms. Webster:

     In your letter dated April 26, 1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.         
    
     The submitted sample is a plastic music box, known as the
"Musical Halloween Skating World" (style number H236), which is
shaped in the form of an old gothic house measuring approximately
5.25 inches high.  It possesses an enclosed musical device which,
when turned on, not only plays a particular melody but also
activates two plastic magnetic ghosts that twirl about its
mirror type roof.      

     The applicable subheading for the subject music box will be
9208.10.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for music boxes.  The rate of duty will be
3.2 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
