comments on the petition from
interested parties. The comment period
closed on March 8, 2010. Six comments
were timely received in response to this

heading 3406, HTSUS, as candles.
Decision on Petition and Notice of
Petitioner’s Desire To Contest
On December 7, 2010, CBP issued HQ
H105015 which denied the domestic
interested party petition and affirmed
the tariff classification determination of
the imported wickless wax objects as set
forth in CBP’s previously issued rulings.
(A copy of this ruling and the comments
submitted by the public can be found at
https://www.regulations.gov under
Docket No. USCBP–2009–0036). Ruling
HQ H105015 officially notified the
petitioner that ‘‘CBP correctly classified
the wax objects described in L85725,
dated June 30, 2005; NY L85383, dated
June 15, 2005; NY L84761, dated June
2, 2005; NY G88343, dated March 26,
2001; NY G87878, dated March 7, 2001;
NY G85945, dated January 16, 2001; NY

E87727, dated September 27, 1999; NY
E82227, dated May 18, 1999; NY
E81505, dated May 12, 1999; and NY
D88246, dated March 12, 1999, in
heading 9602.00.40, HTSUS, as molded
or carved articles of wax by application
of GRIs 6 and 1.’’ In that ruling, CBP also
notified the petitioner of its right to file
notice of its desire to contest the
decision not later than thirty days from
the date of issuance of this letter in
accordance with section 175.23 of the
CBP regulations (19 CFR 175.23).
On January 5, 2011, the National
Candle Association timely provided
CBP with notice of its desire to contest
HQ H105015 in the United States Court
of International Trade. The petitioner
has identified, in accordance with 19
U.S.C. 1516(c) and 19 CFR 175.23, five
ports of entry where it intends to
challenge CBP’s classification of
wickless wax objects identified in entry
documentation as ‘‘wax cylinders’’, ‘‘wax
pillars’’, ‘‘wax blocks’’, ‘‘wax forms’’,
‘‘candle jars’’, ‘‘candle holders’’,
‘‘religious candles holders’’, or ‘‘religious
candle jars’’ classified in heading 9602,
HTSUS. The ports of entry are as
follows: Los Angeles/Long Beach,
California; New York, New York;
Savannah, Georgia; Laredo, Texas; and
Chicago, Illinois.
Upon application by the petitioner to
any of the Port Directors of the ports
listed above, the Port Director(s) must
make available to the petitioner
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 223001
information on merchandise entered
that meets the description in this notice
so that the petitioner may determine
whether the entry presented frames the
issue that it wishes to present to the
court. See 19 CFR 175.25(a) and (c). By
this notice, Port Directors at these ports
are directed to notify petitioner by mail
when the first of such entries is
liquidated so that the petitioner may file
a summons in the Court of International
Trade to challenge CBP’s classification
of the contested merchandise. See 19
U.S.C. 1516(c); 19 CFR 175.25(b).
As required by both the applicable
statute and regulations, CBP is in receipt
of the National Candle Association’s
letter, dated January 5, 2011,
establishing the timely notice of its
desire to contest in the Court of
International Trade CBP’s decision letter
of HQ H105015 which held that the
classification of imported wickless wax
objects is under subheading 9602.00.40,
HTSUS, as molded or carved articles of
wax.
Authority: This notice is published in
accordance with 19 U.S.C. 1516 and sections
175.23 and 175.24 of the CBP regulations (19
