RE: The tariff classification of AT&T walkie talkies communication
set from China.
Dear Mr. Paley:
In your letter dated February 21, 1990 on behalf of your client K
Mart Corporation, you requested a tariff classification ruling.
The subject units are plastic housed transceivers with a flexible
antenna. The transceivers operate on a 9-volt alkaline battery and a
frequency range of 49.82 to 49.90 megahertz.
The applicable subheading for the AT&T walkie talkies
communication set will be 8525.20.2000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States (HTS), which provides for low-power radiotelephonic
transceivers operating on frequencies from 49.82 to 49.90 MHZ. The
rate of duty will be 2.4 percent ad valorem.
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.
Sincerely,
Jean F. Maguire
