RE:	The tariff classification of novelty lamps from China.



Dear Mr. Sekin:



	In your letter dated April 9, 1996, on behalf of Gemmy Industries, you
requested a tariff classification ruling.



	The samples submitted consist of the following plastic lamps:

      

        a) a pumpkin candelabra, item number 23215, which
measures about 14 inches high and possesses three                  electric
candles emanating from its jack-o'-lantern  

           body.  Each candle measures approximately 6 1/4 inches
high, noting that both the candles and the pumpkin-                like body are
supported by a cylindrical-like base                 measuring nearly 4 1/2
inches long.  It also possesses             an electrical cord originating from
the bottom of the              base;



        b) a skull lamp, item number 23220, which measures about              9
1/2 inches high and features a skull with two                    electrical
bulbs situated behind the eyes and one                  electric bulb located at
the apex of the head.  It                 also possesses an electrical cord
emanating from its               bottom portion.    

	

     The applicable subheading for the pumpkin candelabra, item number 23215,
and the skull lamp, item number 23220, will be 9405.40.8000, Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other electrical lamps
and lighting fittings.  The rate of duty will be 3.9 percent ad valorem.
