RE: The tariff classification of stoneware dinnerware from China.
Dear Mr. Wright:
In your letter dated November 18, 1998, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The merchandise at issue is stoneware dinnerware that is
identified as in the Chantilly pattern. The information submitted
indicates that the pattern is principally for household use and is
"available in specified sets" in accordance with Chapter 69,
additional U.S. note 6(b) of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States, with an aggregate value of over $38.
The applicable subheading for the Chantilly pattern stoneware
dinnerware will be 6912.00.39, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), which provides for ceramic household
tableware, other than of porcelain or china, available in specified
sets, in a pattern for which the aggregate value of the articles
listed in additional U.S. note 6(b) of Chapter 69 is over $38. The
duty rate will be 4.5 percent ad valorem.
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 George Kalkines at (212)
466-5794.
