RE: The tariff classification of a set of weights from China.
Dear Ms. Murphy:
In your letter dated May 19, 1992, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The set of five weights will be used with a balance scale.
The weights will be imported separately from the balance scale.
As per your request, the sample will be returned to your office.
The applicable subheading for the set of five weights will
be 8423.90.0080, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for weighing machine weights of all kinds.
The rate of duty will be 5.5% 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
