RE: Tariff classification of willow pet baskets from China
Dear Mr. Smith:
In your letter dated February 11, 1993, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The ruling was requested on a set of willow pet baskets. A sample was
submitted. It consists of a flat bottomed basket with raised sides made of
interwoven willow. A textile lining is sewn to the sides and bottom of the
basket and a matching fitted cushioned pad covers the bottom. The principal
use of this basket is as a bed for pets.
The applicable subheading for the willow pet baskets will be
4602.10.1200, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States Annotated
(HTSUSA), which provides for other baskets and bags, whether or not lined, of
willow. The rate of duty will be 5.8 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
