RE: The tariff classification of bicycle racks from Canada
Dear Mr. Santella:
In your letter dated May 1, 1992, you requested a tariff classification
ruling.
The merchandise is called a "Bikerak." The item is a wall-mounted
bicycle holder made of cold rolled steel. The Bikerak resembles a bracket
with a projecting arm which may be retracted against the wall.
The applicable subheading for the Bikerak will be 8302.50.0000,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for hat
racks, hat pegs, brackets and similar fixtures. The rate of duty will be
3.4% ad valorem.
Goods classifiable under subheading 8302.50.0000, HTS, which have
originated in the territory of Canada, will be entitled to a 2% ad valorem
rate of duty under the United States-Canada Free Trade Agreement (FTA) upon
compliance with all applicable regulations.
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
