RE: The tariff classification of musical instrument cases from
Taiwan.
Dear Mr. Hamadi:
In your letter dated March 9, 1992, on behalf of Ace
Products, you requested a tariff classification ruling on musical
instrument cases.
You have submitted four samples of musical instrument cases
with your request. They are constructed of 100% nylon textile
fabric, and are specially designed to contain said instruments.
1. Item FT-50 is a trumpet case.
2. Item FH-90 is a french horn case.
3. Item FA-20 is a tenor sax case.
4. Item FA-10 is a alto sax case.
The applicable subheading for Items FT-50, FH-90, FA-20 and
FA-10, the musical instrument cases of 100% nylon textile fabric,
will be 4202.92.5000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for musical instrument cases. The
duty rate will be 5.3 percent 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
