RE: The tariff classification of an automobile visor caddy from
Hong Kong
Dear Mr. Maher:
In your letter dated August 31, 1992, on behalf of
Fashioncraft Excello Ind., Hempstead, NY, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
You have submitted a sample of an automobile visor caddy
that measures approximately 11 3/4 inches by 5 3/4 inches. The
article is made of 100 percent rayon canvas. One the front side
it has two zippered pockets; the large pocket measures
approximately 11 inches long and the small pocket measures
approximately 4 1/2 inches long. On the reverse side are three
elastic bands. The elastic bands are affixed to an automobile
sun visor and the visor caddy is used to carry items such as
eyeglasses, maps, pens and papers, etc.
The applicable subheading for the automobile visor caddy
will be 8708.29.0060, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for other parts and accessories of
motor vehicle bodies. The rate of duty will be 3.1 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
