RE: The tariff classification of key blanks from Italy
Dear Ms. Dixon:
In your letter dated December 27, 1994, received in this
office on January 19, 1995, on behalf of Fodor Worldwide, Inc., you
requested a tariff classification ruling.
The merchandise is an aluminum key blank. The key requires
only that it be cut for a particular lock to be completely
finished.
The applicable subheading for the key blank will be
8301.70.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for keys, presented separately. The duty
rate will be 5.5 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
Area Director
