RE: The tariff classification of lead and copper flower bases
from France
Dear Ms. van Campenhout:
In your letter of no date, received in this office on
February 16, 1995, you requested a tariff classification ruling.
The merchandise is a base for flower arrangements. It is
made of lead with copper pills. The base is used to hold flower
arrangements, bouquets and floral art.
The applicable subheading for the base will be 8306.29.0000,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for statuettes and other ornaments, of base metal. The
duty rate will be 4 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
