RE: The tariff classification of chalk from Taiwan
Dear Ms. Magyar:
In your letter dated November 25, 1991, you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
The merchandise is "Especially Easter Chalklits." It
consists of three pieces of colored chalk on a blister pack. We
assume that the chalk is not made of soapstone.
The applicable subheading for the chalk will be
9609.90.8000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other chalk. The rate of duty will be
5.5 cents per gross [pieces] plus 3.4% 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
