RE: The tariff classification of an "Ice Busters sno-cone" machine set
from China.
Dear Mr. Marshak:
In your letter dated July 20, 1989 you requested a classification
ruling on behalf of K Mart Corp.
The sample "Ice Busters", Code No. 04-25-36, consists of a "sno-cone"
machine with metal ice shaver, 1 package of soft drink mix, 2 disposable
cups, a plastic ice scoop, and instructions to make "sno-cone" at home with
any soft drink mix.
The applicable subheading for the "Ice Busters" set will be
8210.00.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for hand-operated mechanical appliances, weighing 10 kg. or less,
used in the preparation, conditioning or serving of food or drink, and base
metal parts thereof. 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
