RE: The tariff classification of plastic control knobs for gas
grills from Taiwan.
Dear Mr. Paull:
In your letter dated December 21, 1990, on behalf of Kmart
Corporation, you requested a tariff classification ruling.
The sample submitted with your letter consists of a pair of
control knobs, identified in your letter as code no. 11-01-47,
packaged in a box which is labelled as part no. 4184618. The
knobs are made of plastics and are designed to fit most gas
grills. They will be packaged with adhesive rings indicating
flame height which are designed to be attached to the knobs
after installation. The sample is being returned as you
requested.
The applicable subheading for the plastic control knobs for
gas grills will be 3926.90.2500, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States (HTS), which provides for other articles of
plastics...handles and knobs, not elsewhere specified or
included. The rate of duty will be 6.5 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
