RE: The tariff classification of a "Stamper Pen" from Taiwan,
China or Hong Kong.
Dear Ms. Magyar:
In your letter dated December 16, 1991 you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
The merchandise is identified as item 92203 "Stamper Pen".
The item consists of a ball point pen with the point concealed by
a pre-inked stamper and a cap. The sample submitted contains a
floral design highlighted by a Tulip. The pen is a basic
ballpoint type writing instrument.
The applicable subheading for the "Stamper Pen" will be
9608.10.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States,
(HTS) which provides for ball point pens. The rate of duty will
be 0.8 cents each plus 5.4% 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
