RE: The tariff classification of a ADO-LUX lighted valance and hardware
system from West Germany.
Dear Ms. Young:
In your letter dated September 19, 1990, on behalf of Ado Corporation of
Spartanburg, South Carolina, you requested a tariff classification ruling.
The ADO-LUX is a lighted valance and hardware system for the installment
of draperies. There are five parts of the system that are being imported.
They are as follows: a profiled, uneven-legged channel profile, 6 1/4" wide X
3 1/2 " high made of aluminum; a profile PMMA plastic plexi-grooved track
measuring 5 1/2" wide, 1/2" thick and is profiled to be inserted laterally
into the aluminum extrusion and be swivelled 90 degrees; plastic securing
strips which hold and secure the plexi-grooved tracks in closed position; an
end track cover that is light grey pressed parts from Macrolon with a
sealable cable slot; and 5 1/2 to 6 inch wood veneer valances that are not
cut to length. The merchandise, in its imported condition, does not include
any electrical or lighting equipment.
The applicable subheading for the Ado-Lux valance and hardware system
will be 8302.49.6090, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS),
which provides for base metal mountings, fittings and similar articles
suitable for furniture, doors, staircases, windows, blinds, etc. of
aluminum,...other. The rate of duty will be 5.7 percent.
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
