RE: The tariff classification of ceramic floor tiles from China.

Dear Ms. Hsu:

In your letter dated July 15, 1991, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The submitted samples are three oval-shaped glazed floor tiles (two are noted to be of standard quality while the other is stated to be substandard) which measure approximately 4" in diameter. It is stated that they are uti- lized for dividing traffic lanes on roads and highways during temporary con- struction use.

The applicable subheading for the above floor tiles will be 6908.90.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for glazed ceramic flags and paving, hearth or wall tiles...other. The rate of duty will be 19 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
