RE: The tariff classification of the Homedics Sound Spa Traveler from China
Dear Ms. Locke:
In your letter dated July 14, 1998 you requested a tariff classification
ruling.
The Homedics Sound Spa Traveler is designated as item # SS100-MTB. It is a
portable, battery-operated alarm clock with a liquid crystal display. The alarm
clock produces six environmental sounds, for example, ocean waves, spring rain,
mountain stream, etc. through the use of a computer chip.
The applicable subheading for the Homedics Sound Spa Traveler will be
9105.11.40, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for other clocks; alarm clocks, electrically operated, with
opto-electronic display only. The rate of duty will be 3.9 percent on the
movement and case plus 5.3 percent on the battery.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs
Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be
provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is
imported. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National
Import Specialist Barbara Kiefer at 212-466-5685.
