RE: The tariff classification of TV Screen Magnifier from Taiwan
Dear Ms. Bonace:
In your letter dated October 7, 1993 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The magnifier screen, product #2340, is composed of a 20 1/2 inch by 16
1/2 inch blue-tinted acrylic magnifier in a metal frame. This screen may be
attached to any television from 12 inches to 26 inches in size. The amount
of screen enlargement depends on the distance between the lens (the magnifier
screen) and the television screen. The purpose of the magnifier screen is to
give a sharper and clearer picture.
The applicable subheading for the TV Screen Magnifier will be
9013.80.6000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for other optical appliances and instruments, not specified or
included elsewhere in this chapter; other devices, appliances and
instruments. The rate of duty will be 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
