RE: The tariff classification of a keyboard keeper from Canada.
Dear Ms. Lawton:
In your letter dated May 30, 1990 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The keyboard keeper is a steel tray with rubber surface protectors which
is attached to desks, tables or shelves and supports a computer keyboard.
The applicable subheading for the keyboard keeper will be 8304.00.0000,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for
office and desk equipment. The rate of duty will be 5.7 percent ad valorem.
Goods classifiable under subheading 8304.00.0000,HTS, which have
originated in the territory of Canada, will be entitled to a 4.5 percent rate
of duty under the United States-Canada Free Trade Agreement (FTA) upon
compliance with all applicable regulations.
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
