RE: The tariff classification of carton sealers from China.
Dear Mr. Greenberg:
In your letter dated January 5, 1995, on behalf of Slide
"me" On, Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling.
The carton sealers are composed of plastics. The carton
sealers are designed to slide onto the top of milk and juice
containers to seal them after they have been opened. As you
requested, your sample is being returned.
The applicable subheading for the carton sealers will be
3923.50.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for stoppers, lids, caps and other
closures, 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
