RE: The tariff classification of stoneware dinnerware from Japan.
Dear Mr. Okazaki:
In your letter dated January 7, 1993, on behalf of Boston
Warehouse Trading Corporation, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The merchandise at issue is stoneware dinnerware that is
identified as in the White Grapes pattern. The information
submitted indicates that the White Grapes pattern dinnerware is
principally for household use and is "available in specified sets"
in accordance with Chapter 69, additional U.S. note 6(b) of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, with an aggregate
value of $60.90.
The applicable subheading for the White Grapes pattern
stoneware dinnerware will be 6912.00.39, Harmonized Tariff Schedule
of the United States (HTS), which provides for ceramic household
tableware, other than of porcelain or china, available in specified
sets, in a pattern for which the aggregate value of the articles
listed in additional U.S. note 6 (b) of Chapter 69 is over $38.
The rate of duty will be 4.5 percent ad valorem.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section
177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
Sincerely,
Jean F. Maguire
Area Director
