RE: The tariff classification of child safety gates from an
unnamed country of origin
Dear Mr. Kuflik:
In your letter dated April 7, 1995, on behalf of Gerry Baby
Products Company, you requested a tariff classification ruling.
The merchandise is a "Soft Gate" child safety gate. It is a
portable gate designed to secure an infant in an area. The gate
is a nylon mesh panel attached to a plastic and steel frame. The
soft gate is braced in a doorway by spring-loaded tubes.
The applicable subheading for the Soft Gate will be
7323.99.9060, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for table, kitchen or other household
articles, of iron or steel, other, other. The general rate of
duty will be 3.4 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
