RE: The tariff classification of a pewter wine bottle stopper from
the United Kingdom
Dear Mr. Baker:
In your letter dated August 18, 1993, on behalf of Murray
Sales Co., you requested a tariff classification ruling.
The merchandise is a pewter wine bottle stopper. It consists
of a cork topped with a fancy pewter decoration in the form of a
bunch of grapes.
The applicable subheading for the stopper will be
8309.90.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for stoppers, caps and lids ... of base
metal. The rate of duty will be 5.2 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
