RE: The tariff classification of an alarm clock with detachable
flashlight from China.
Dear Ms. Curtis:
In your letter of February 19, 1992, you requested a tariff
classification ruling on an alarm clock with a detachable
flashlight.
You have submitted descriptive literature with your request.
The articles, Hero Alarm Clocks, style #120661 (tan) and style
#121161 (black), are battery powered quartz digital alarm clocks
with an LED display. The alarm clocks have detachable
flashlights.
The applicable subheading for the Hero Alarm Clocks will be
9105.11.4000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other clocks: alarm clocks: battery or
AC powered: with opto-electronic display only. The rate of duty
will be 3.9% on the movement and case plus 5.3% on the battery.
The applicable subheading for the detachable flashlight will
be 8513.10.2000, HTS, which provides for flashlights. The rate
of duty will be 25%.
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
