China or Thailand.
Dear Ms. Woo:

of goods, of plastics...boxes, cases, crates and similar
articles. The rate of duty will be 3 percent ad valorem.
Articles classifiable under subheading 3923.10.0000, HTS,
which are products of Thailand are entitled to duty free
treatment under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) upon
compliance with all applicable regulations, if the GSP is
renewed.
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.
