RE: The tariff classification of a pen from India
Dear Mr. Bahri:
In your letter dated June 14, 1993, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The merchandise is a ball point pen. The sample you mentioned in your
letter was not received in this office.
The applicable subheading for the pen will be 9608.10.0000, Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for ball point
pens. The rate of duty will be 0.8 cents each plus 5.4 percent ad valorem.
Articles classifiable under subheading 9608.10.0000, HTS, which are
products of India 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
