RE: The tariff classification of a glass globe from Taiwan
Dear Ms. Fumagalli:
In your letter dated September 13, 1990, you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
This product is a glass snowglobe containing a nativity
scene. Both the globe and the figures in the nativity scene are
made of glass. The base of the product is made of wood and
plastic. The globe contains a mixture of water and glycol which
forms plastic "snowflakes" when the item is shaken.
You state that the value of this product is $4.30.
The applicable subheading for the glass globe will be
7013.99.8000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for glassware of a kind used for...indoor
decoration or similar purposes: other glassware: other: other:
other: valued over three dollars each: other: valued over
three dollars but not over five dollars each. The rate of duty
will be 15 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
