RE: The tariff classification of a display map from Ireland.
Dear Mr. Hamilton:
In your letter dated January 20, 1995, you requested a tariff
classification ruling regarding a display map of various mineral
substances and crushed stones from Ireland. A sample of the item
was submitted with your request.
You suggest that this product may be classifiable in
subheading 4905.99.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedules of the United
States (HTS). This provision, however, covers maps which are
printed matter; it does not apply to an aggregation of minerals
and stones, even if this material has been arranged to simulate a
map.
The applicable subheading for the display map will be
6815.99.4000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for articles of stone or other mineral
substances (including articles of peat), not elsewhere specified or
included: other: other. The rate of duty will be 3.6 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
