RE: The tariff classification of a quartz analog wrist watch from
China.
Dear Ms. Szurgot:
In your letter of February 5, 1993, on behalf of Alpha Logica,
Inc., New York, NY, you requested a tariff classification ruling
on a quartz analog wrist watch.
The submitted sample, style #5430005D, is a battery operated
quartz analog wrist watch, having no jewels, with a gold-plated
case, a stainless steel back and a leather strap.
The applicable subheading for the style #5430005D quartz
analog wrist watch will be 9102.11.30, Harmonized Tariff Schedule
of the United States (HTS), which provides for wrist watches,
pocket watches and other watches, including stop watches, other
than those of heading 9101, with mechanical display only: having
no jewels or only one jewel in the movement: Other: with gold- or
silver-plated case. The rate of duty will be 44 cents each plus
6% on the case plus 2.8% on the strap, band or bracelet plus 5.3%
on the battery.
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
