RE: The tariff classification of table lamps from Taiwan.
Dear Mr. Coe:
In your letter dated April 5, 1993, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The merchandise at issue, per the attached photos, consists of
the following:
a) a household table lamp, SKU number F-1763, which possesses a brass
base and neck with marble looking plastic inserted between the
brass components (noting this portion to be mainly of brass), in
addition to a plastic covered shade;
b) a household table lamp, SKU number Z-1792, which is composed
almost entirely of brass with floral cardboard covering part of
the brass for contrast purposes;
c) a household table lamp, SKU number X-2460, which has a brass base
and neck.
The applicable subheading for these table lamps will be 9405.20.4010,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for
electric table and desk lamps...of brass, household. The rate of duty will
be 3.7 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
