The merchandise is identified as a Hose Holder Pot made of zinc (item number A026BA00987). The item measures approximately 18 inches in diameter and 11 inches in height. The Hose Holder Pot has a hole in the bottom. The hole allows for one end of the hose to be pulled through and connected to a faucet. The rest of the hose is coiled inside the pot for storage until needed. You indicate in your letter that the hose holder is for household (garden) use.
The applicable subheading for this Hose Holder Pot is 7907.00.1000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for other articles of zinc, articles of a type used for household, table or kitchen use; toilet and sanitary wares; all the foregoing and parts thereof of zinc. The rate of duty is 3 percent ad valorem.
