RE: The tariff classification of a compass from Taiwan
Dear Ms. Fathauer:
In your letter dated April 25, 1997, you requested a tariff
classification ruling on behalf of Consolidated Stores
Corporation.
Model YC-300L is a compass designed for use on a car dash
board. It consists of a floating ball encapsulated in a clear,
liquid-filled bulb. It has a light which can be plugged into an
auto cigarette lighter.
The applicable subheading for the compass will be
9014.10.9000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other direction finding compasses. The
rate of duty will be 4.0% ad valorem.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177
of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of this 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 this ruling, contact National
Import Specialist Eric Francke at (212) 466-5669.
Sincerely,
Robert B.
