RE: The tariff classification of a metal key chain with a
plastic photo frame from Taiwan.
Dear Ms. Moran:
In your letter dated May 30, 1990, on behalf of Lakrel
Specialties, you requested a tariff classification ruling.
The key chain/photo frame is a composite article with dual
functions. A component material breakdown by value was not
submitted with your letter, but our experience has shown that
similar key chains with large photo frames are overwhelmingly in
chief value of plastics.
The applicable subheading for the key chain/photo frame will
be 3926.90.9050, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other articles of plastics. The rate
of duty will be 5.3 percent ad valorem.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section
177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry
documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the
documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be
brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
transaction.
Sincerely,
Jean F. Maguire
