RE: The tariff classification of a feather duster from China.
Dear Ms. Cooper:
In your letter dated April 16, 2008, you requested a tariff classification ruling.
You have submitted a sample of a Cameo Feather Duster, model 30312. It will be returned to you as requested. Black feathers are attached to a plastic handle.
A white marabou is glued around the top of the handle. A cameo with faux rhinestones is glued to the center of a black satin bow that is glued to the white marabou.
The applicable subheading for the feather duster will be 9603.90.4000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for “Brooms and brushes, Other, Feather Dusters”. The rate of duty will be free.
Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change. The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are provided on World Wide Web at http://www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist Lawrence Mushinske at 646-733-3036.
