RE: The tariff classification of Christmas stocking holders from China
Dear Mr. Kuehler:
In your letter dated September 17, 1993, on behalf of Builders Square,
you requested a tariff classification ruling.
The merchandise is a boxed set of four Christmas stocking holders. Each
holder has a rectangular cast iron base with hook and is topped with a
different hand-painted resin holiday figure. The figures include a Christmas
tree, Santa on a sleigh, Mr. Snowman and Santa at a fireplace.
The applicable subheading for the stocking holder set will be
8306.29.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for statuettes and other ornaments, of base metal, other. The rate
of duty will be 5 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
