Mercury)”
Per the attached color flyer, “Thermometer registers temperature, on the Fahrenheit scale, in your refrigerator or freezer!”
The applicable subheading for the 50770 will be 9025.11.4000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for thermometers and pyrometers, liquid-filled, for direct reading, not clinical, and not combined with other instruments. The rate of duty will be free.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
