RE: The tariff classification of kitchen cabinets from Canada.

Dear Ms. Van Camp:

In your letter dated June 27, 2008, on behalf of Kitchen Craft of Canada, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

Custom-built kitchen cabinets in various sizes will be imported partially assembled. Toe kicks, mouldings, fillers and columns will be added during installation. All components are made of wood and cut to size to complete the installation of the cabinets. You also request classification of the parts if shipped separately.

The applicable subheading for the kitchen cabinets with toe kicks, mouldings, fillers and columns will be 9403.40.9060, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for “Wooden furniture of a kind used in the kitchen: Other: Cabinets designed for permanent installation”. The rate of duty will be free.

The applicable subheading for the toe kicks, mouldings, fillers and columns if imported separately and cut to size for installation with the kitchen cabinets will be 9403.90.7000, HTSUS, which provides for: “Other furniture and parts thereof: Parts: Other: Of wood”. 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.

Sincerely,
