RE: The tariff classification of a #190 weekly
planner/engagement book from Singapore.
Dear Mr. Sias:
In your letter dated March 12, 1992, on behalf of your
client, F.W. Woolworth Co., you requested a tariff classification
ruling.
A sample was submitted and will be returned as requested.
It is a slim, 6" x 8 1/2" hardbound engagement book. The bulk of
its pages are in weekly appointment calendar format, i.e., with
lined, blank rectangular spaces captioned with the specific
days/dates of a given year, arranged so that one week appears per
opening. The front of the book contains a few pages printed
with handy reference material (metric conversion table, 3-year
calendar, list of holidays, etc.), and the back has a page for a
personal directory.
The applicable subheading for the above-described engagement
book/planner (item #190) will be 4820.10.4000, Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other
(non-enumerated) articles similar to registers, account books,
notebooks, receipt books and diaries. The rate of duty will be
free.
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
