RE: The tariff classification of hinges from India
Dear Mr. Chopra:
In your letter dated January 30, 1995, received in this
office on February 21, 1995, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The merchandise consists of a post hinge, a gate hinge and a
buldog hinge. These items, made of pressed steel, are used in
the wire fencing industry.
The applicable subheading for the hinges will be
8302.10.6090, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for hinges, and parts thereof, of iron or
steel, of aluminum or of zinc, other. The duty rate will be 5.3
percent ad valorem.
Articles classifiable under subheading 8302.10.6090, HTS,
which are products of India are entitled to duty free treatment
under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) upon compliance
with all applicable regulations.
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
