Dear Mr. Cullen:
In your letter dated September 19, 2011, on behalf of CVS/Pharmacy, you requested a tariff classification ruling.
The submitted sample is identified as a Plastic Weave Bucket, Item Number 401491. The bucket is made of plastic, is cylindrical in shape, pink in color, has an open top and a flat bottom. There is a plastic semicircular carry handle affixed to the top of the bucket. The item measures approximately 6” in height, 8¼” in diameter at the top and 7” in diameter at the bottom. Although made of molded plastic, the top three quarters of the exterior surface has the appearance and texture of a faux plaited design while the lower quarter of the external surface is smooth with a printed daisy and butterfly design. The entire interior surface is smooth. As you requested, the sample will be returned to you.
The applicable subheading for Item Number 401491 will be 3926.90.1000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for other articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 3901 to 3914: other: buckets and pails. The duty rate will be 3.4 percent ad valorem.
