RE: The tariff classification of porcelain dinnerware from China.
Dear Mr. Phelps:
In your letter dated June 13, 1990, on behalf of Fairwinds, Inc.,
you requested a tariff classification ruling.
The information submitted indicates the porcelain dinnerware,
Kristen pattern, is principally for household use and is "available in
specified sets" in accordance with Chapter 69, additional U.S. note
6(b) of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States. The
aggregate value of the articles listed in additional U.S. note 6(b) is
over $56.00.
The applicable subheading for the porcelain dinnerware, Kristen
pattern, will be 6911.10.39, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for household tableware of porcelain in a
pattern with an aggregate value of the articles listed in additional
United States note 6(b) of this Chapter of over $56.00. The rate of
duty will be 8 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
