RE: The tariff classification of a combination protractor/set
square/center finder/rule from England.
Dear Mr. Hough:
In your letter dated June 3, 1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The AngleMaster is a combination of a protractor, set
square, center finder and rule. This instrument enables the user
to construct or find angles and points with accuracy and
simplicity.
The applicable subheading for the AngleMaster will be
9017.20.8090, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other drawing, marking-out or
mathematical calculating instruments. The rate of duty will be
5.8 percent ad valorem.
Your request for a ruling on the marking of the AngleMaster
is being forwarded to the Value and Marking Branch, U.S. Customs
Service Headquarters, 1301 Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington,
D.C. 20229. A ruling will be issued to you from that 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
