RE: Screen Tent

Dear Mr. Katz:

This is in response to your letter of June 2, 1989, on behalf of your client, Nelson/Weather-Rite, Inc., concerning the classification of a screen tent, described as Screenhouse Style No. 4662, under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States Annotated (HTSUSA). In your letter, you acknowledge that the merchandise at issue here is basically identical to the "Screenhouse" which was the subject of Headquarters Ruling Letter (HRL) 083789, dated March 31, 1989, and you request that we reconsider our holding in HRL 083789.

Upon review of your argument that the subject merchandise is more properly classifiable under subheading 3926.90.90 HTSUSA, and the rationale set forth in HRL 083789, this office has determined that the subject screen tent remains properly classifiable under subheading 6306.22.9000, HTSUSA, based on the reasoning set forth in HRL 083789. Accordingly, we hereby adhere our previous ruling on this subject.


Sincerely,

John Durant, Director
Commercial Rulings Division
