RE: The tariff classification of polyurethane bumpers from
Germany.
Dear Mr. Akerley:
In your letter dated April 15, 1994, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The polyurethane bumpers are used to protect doors and
drawers, and to provide a non-slip surface under lamps, computers
and other office equipment. The bumpers, shaped approximately like
hemispheres and flattened hemispheres, and ranging in size from 7.5
mm in diameter and 2.2 mm in height to 10 mm in diameter and 5 mm
in height, are usually sold to manufacturers. They are imported
on paper rolls.
The applicable subheading for the bumpers will be
3926.90.9590, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other articles of plastics. The rate of
duty will be 5.3 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
