RE: The tariff classification of a bicycle computer wrist-watch
accessory kit from South Korea.
Dear Ms. Reignier:
In your letter dated May 21, 1990, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The imported accessory kit is for the speedometer portion of
a bicycle computer wrist-watch. The set of accessories
consists of cables, magnets, mounting brackets, sensors, rubber
filler pads, mounting tape and cable ties. When the wrist-watch
is attached to the bicycle by means of this kit, the user is able
to obtain data on current/maximum speed in mph or kph,
current/maximum cadence and trip/total distance measurement. The
data is displayed on the digital display of the wrist-watch. The
kit enables the purchaser to use the watch with more than one
bicycle. It should be noted that the watch portion is not being
imported.
The applicable subheading for the bicycle computer wrist-
watch accessory kit will be 9029.90.4000, Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for
accessories of bicycle speedometers. The rate of duty will be
17%.
Your submitted sample of the accessory kit along with the
instruction manual for the bicycle computer wrist-watch is being
returned to your office.
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
