RE: The tariff classification of "Tranquil Moments Holiday
Relaxation Kit" from China/Taiwan
Dear Mr. Eisen:
In your letter dated November 7, 1991 you requested a tariff
classification ruling on behalf of your client Avon Products,
Inc.
A sample was submitted with your inquiry and is being
returned as requested. As stated in your letter, "Tranquil
Moments Holiday Relaxation Kit" consists of a vinyl plastic eye
mask filled with glycerine and water, which can be heated or
chilled, and placed over the eyes.
The applicable subheading for the "Tranquil Moments Holiday
Relaxation Kit" will be 1520.90.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule
of the United States (HTS), which provides for other glycerol
(glycerine), including synthetic glycerol. The rate of duty will
be 1.1 cents per kilogram.
Duty on products classifiable under 1520.90.0000, HTS, are
temporarily reduced under subheading 9903.10.22, HTS. The rate
of duty will be 0.8 cents per kilogram.
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
