RE: The tariff classification of Tea Lights Candles from China.
Dear Mr. De Castro:
In your letter dated May 11, 1994, on behalf of your client
Albert Price, you requested a tariff classification ruling.
The applicable subheading for the Tea Lights Candles will be
3406.00.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for candles, tapers and the like. The rate
of duty will be 5.8 percent ad valorem.
The prospective import consists of a candle poured into a
metal container. The container measures 3/4 inch high by 1 1/2
inches in diameter.
Tea Lights Candles are within the scope of the Anti-dumping
Duty Order.
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
