RE: The tariff classification of a wall hanging from Russia
Dear Ms. O'Boyle:
In your letter dated May 22, 1991, on behalf of New
Opportunities Expo Group, you requested a tariff classification
ruling.
The merchandise is a small metal decorative plaque. The
design is that of a Russian Orthodox Church with lettering.
The applicable subheading for the wall hanging will be
8306.29.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for statuettes and other ornaments, of base
metal. The rate of duty will be 46% 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
