RE: The tariff classification of a brass pull chain with a nylon
tassel from Taiwan
Dear Ms. O'Boyle:
In your letter dated February 4, 1992 on behalf of Builder
Square Inc. you requested a tariff classification ruling.
A picture of the packaged article submitted with your
inquiry indicates it is referred to as a fan and light pull
chain, and its item number is EB93004. It consists of a short
length of solid brass bead or ball chain (of the type typically
used in keychains) with a nylon tassel attached at one end. Your
letter states the value of the brass material in the article is
15.5 cents, and the value of the nylon material is 4.7 cents.
The applicable subheading for the brass pull chain with
nylon tassel will be 7419.10.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States (HTS), which provides for other articles of
copper: chain and parts thereof. The rate of duty will be 5.1
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
