RE: The tariff classification of brass anchors from India.
Dear Mr. Valerio:
In your letter dated May 11, 1998, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The subject items are used as concrete anchor lags for
inground swimming pools. The brass anchors, approximately 1 3/4"
in length, actually hold down a safety cover over the pool(s).
The applicable subheading for the brass anchors will be
7415.39.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other threaded articles: other. The duty
rate will be 3.5% ad valorem.
Articles classifiable under subheading 7415.39.0000, HTS,
which are products of India, are entitled to duty free treatment
under the Generalized System of Preferences upon compliance with
all applicable regulations.
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 the
ruling, contact National Import Specialist Kathy Campanelli at 212-466-5492.
