RE: The tariff classification of magnifier lamp from Taiwan.
Dear Ms. Bonace:
In your letter dated March 7, 1995, you requested a tariff
classification ruling. A sample was submitted with your ruling
request. The item is a magnifier lamp, Blair product number
587501. The magnifier lamp is constructed of a metal swing-arm,
a plastic clamp, and a phenolic shade. It is designed to be
clamped onto a table or counter and can be directed by the
flexible arm to where the magnifying lamp is needed. The
phenolic shade is a lens holder for a round 3 diopter glass lens
and also holds a 60 watt bulb which is not included.
The applicable subheading for the magnifier lamp will be
9013.80.2000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for hand magnifiers, magnifying glasses,
loupes, thread counters and similar apparatus. The rate of duty
will be 6.6 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
