RE: The tariff classification of a vinyl-coated steel sweater dryer from Hong Kong.

Dear Ms. Brophy:

In your letter dated August 24, 1990 you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The sweater dryer consists of a nylon net and vinyl-coated steel adjustable frame with suction cups on the bottom. The garments are supported and air-dried on the nylon net which rests on the metal frame.

The applicable subheading for the vinyl-coated steel sweater dryer will be 7323.99.9000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for household articles of steel, other. The rate of duty will be 3.4 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
Area Director
