RE: The tariff classification of acrylic holders and stands from
the United Kingdom.
Dear Mrs. Roques:
In your letter dated August 18, 1995, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The adjustable holders (AH series) are designed to hold a
plate, plaque or similar object. There are two types of leaflet
holders. The first (LH series) is meant to be used on a desk or
table, while the second (LHW series) is designed to be mounted to
a wall. This latter holder has two holes and is sold with
screws. The general support stands (GSS series) can be used
individually or in pairs to hold long objects, such as pistols or
telescopes. The picture frame holders (PFH series) are designed
to hold pictures or plaques in an upright position. All these
holders and stands are composed of acrylic, and are meant for use
in museums and retail establishments.
The applicable subheading for the adjustable holders,
leaflet holders, general support stands and picture frame holders
will be 3926.90.9890, 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.
The applicable subheading for the wall leaflet holders will
be 3925.90.0000, HTS, which provides for builders' ware of
plastics, not elsewhere specified or included: other. The rate
of duty will be 5.3 percent ad valorem.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section
