RE: The tariff classification of plastic photo holders with a metal key ring from Taiwan.

Dear Ms. Castellanos:

In your letter dated June 19, 1990, on behalf of AMCAM International, Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling. Three samples were submitted. Each consists of a plastic photo holder with a metal key ring. The photo holder also serves as a tag for the key ring. One of the photo holders also has a mirror on the reverse side. The applicable subheading for the photo holder with a key ring will be 3926.90.9050, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other articles of plastics. The rate of duty will be 5.3 percent ad valorem.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction.

Sincerely,

Jean F. Maguire
Area Director
