RE: The tariff classification of a brass candle lamp and a fabric
cosmetic tray respectively from China and Taiwan.
Dear Mr. Sawyer:
In your letter dated August 27, 1993, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The brass candle lamp is a battery operated two piece nine inch solid
brass lamp in the shape of a candle. The submitted sample will be returned
as requested.
The applicable subheading for the brass candle lamp will be
9405.40.4000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for other electric lamps and lighting fittings of brass. The duty
rate will be 5.7 percent ad valorem.
Your inquiry does not provide enough information for us to give a
classification ruling on the fabric cosmetic tray. Your request for a
classification ruling should include the value of the completed article and a
component breakdown by weight and value. The submitted sample will be
returned as requested.
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
