RE: The tariff classification of a Fitted Leather Travel
Toiletry Set and a Leather Business Planner (Book Cover) from
England.
Dear Ms. Tompkins:
In your letter dated November 15, 1990, on behalf of your
client, Richard E. Bishop Ltd., you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The prospective imports consists of the following two
articles:
1. A fitted Leather Travel Toiletry Set measuring 5 1/2" x
10 1/2" x 2 " containing a razor, comb, manicure scissors,
mirror, nail file, and three empty covered containers.
2. The Business Planner is a 7" x 5" six ring loose leaf
binder of embossed leather containing compartments for cards and
designed to hold an appointment calendar. The Business Planner
will be imported without the appointment calendar.
The applicable subheading for the Travel Toiletry Set will be
9605.00.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States,
(HTS), which provides for travel sets for personal toilet, sewing
or shoe or clothes cleaning (other than manicure and pedicure
sets of heading 8214). The rate of duty will be 8.1 percent ad
valorem.
The applicable subheading for the Business Planner will be
4205.00.8000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other articles of leather or of
composition leather. It will be duty free.
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
