includes 1 tungsten halogen lamp (110-130 V/500 W). It is designed
to be suitable for various professional uses (e.g., painting,
carpentry, plumbing and farming).
The applicable subheading for the halogen worklight will be

A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry

brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
transaction.
