RE: The tariff classification of television wall mounts from Brazil
Dear Mr. DeSouza:
In your letter dated October 15, 1992, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The merchandise is a mounting for a television set and videocassette
player. It is made of epoxy coated steel tubing. It is designed to save
space in a home, bar, hospital or similar area by enabling a television and a
video player to be placed on a wall. The mounting is adjustable and can
support up to 220 ponds.
The applicable subheading for the television and video wall mount will
be 8302.50.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for base metal mountings and fittings and similar articles ... hat-
racks, hat pegs, brackets and similar fixtures. The duty rate will be 3.4
percent ad valorem.
Articles classifiable under subheading 8302.50.0000, HTS, which are
products of Brazil are entitled to duty free treatment under the Generalized
System of Preferences (GSP) 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
