RE: The tariff classification of a teething ring from Mexico.
Dear Ms. Cormier:
In your letter dated November 28, 1994, you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
The "Cool-A-Gum Teether Ring," article number 3151, consists
of a molded plastic ring and a soft vinyl material filled with
water and then heat sealed. When chilled in a refrigerator, the
teether acts as a cold compress for a baby's gums and helps
reduce teething discomfort. As you requested, your sample is
being returned.
The applicable subheading for the teething ring will be
3926.90.9590, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other articles of plastics, other. 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
