RE: The tariff classification of a cosmetics tube from Japan.
Dear Mr. Benedict:
In your letter dated June 17, 1992, on behalf of Amway
Corporation, you requested a tariff classification ruling.
The cosmetics tube is composed of high density polyethylene.
It will be imported empty and unsealed at the bottom.
The applicable subheading for the cosmetics tube will be
3923.90.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for articles for the conveyance or packing
of goods, of plastics, other. The rate of duty will be 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
Area Director
