RE: The tariff classification of Technical Blades from Germany
Dear Ms. Robinson:
In your letter dated July 15, 1992, you requested a tariff
classification ruling on behalf of BVO Corporation, Monroe, NC.
The articles to be imported are various straight and hook
technical blades that are also called utility or industrial
blades. They are used with industrial knife handles for hand
cutting in certain trades and hobbies.
The applicable subheading for the technical blades will be
8211.94.5000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for blades for knives having other than
fixed blades. The rate of duty will be 1 cent each plus 5.4
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
