RE: The tariff classification of a plastic bottle cap from Hong Kong.
Dear Mr. Trovato:
In your letter dated March 14, 2001, on behalf of Jackel, Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling.
A sample cap was provided with your letter. The cap is plastic and is in the shape of a top hat. It will be used to seal a plastic bottle shaped like a snowman.
The applicable subheading for the plastic cap will be 3923.50.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for stoppers, lids, caps and other closures, of plastics. The rate of duty will be 5.3 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 Joan Mazzola at 212-637-7034.
Sincerely,
Robert B. Swierupski
