	The merchandise is a 9 gram, collapsible, aluminum tube.  It is approximately 5.5 inches in length and .75 inches in diameter.  The tubes are imported empty and printed.  One end has a cap and nozzle, and the other end is open.

	The applicable subheading for the tubular containers will be 7612.10.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for collapsible tubular containers, of aluminum.  The rate of duty will be 2.4 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 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 James Smyth at 212-466-2084.
