Dear Mr. Eisen:

     The samples submitted consist of the following porcelain articles:

approximately 5 inches in height with a top diameter               of 6 5/8
inches and possesses a removable fitted base.             It also features a
decorative blue and white exterior              design;



        b) the "Vase," item number PP 150352, with an hourglass-
like design, which measures about 12 inches in height              and features
a decorative blue and white exterior                  pattern;       

  

        c) the "Candlestick Holder," item number PP 150354,
which measures approximately 8 1/2 inches in height                with a 3 1/2

pattern.  



     The applicable subheading for the decorative porcelain "Cachepot," item
number PP 149438, and the "Vase," item number  PP 150352, will be 6913.10.5000,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other
ornamental ceramic articles of porcelain.  The rate of duty will be free.   



     The applicable subheading for the porcelain "Candlestick Holder," item
number PP 150354, will be 9405.50.4000, HTS, which provides for other
