RE: The tariff classification of a night light from China.
Dear Mr. Coe:
In your letter dated May 20, 1993, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The article at issue is a night light identified as the dream
light
melody maker, item SKU No. X4544 Vendor No. CTW-325. The article consists of
a night light that illumunates a scene from Sesame Street and a music maker
that helps a child fall asleep. The night light is powered by batteries and
is basically made of plastic. An AC adapter that enables the night light to
come on automatically as the room darkens is also included.
The applicable subheading for the night light will be 9405.40.8000,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for
other electric lamps and lighting fittings not of base metal. The rate of
duty will be 3.9 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
