RE: The tariff classification of a "diary/appointment book" from
Korea.
Dear Ms. Laurens:
In your letter dated February 22, 1991, you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
A sample was submitted and will be retained for reference.
It is a 1 x 8 1/2 x 17 1/2 cm book, permanently bound in
bonded leather, composed mainly of blank pages which are lined
and captioned to facilitate written entries of various kinds.
The bulk of the pages constitute a year-long "engagement
calendar," with spaces provided for filling in reminders,
appointments and the like each day. There are additional pages
designated for address and telephone listings, and others for
monthly plans and expenses. The book also contains a lesser
number of pages which are printed with handy reference
information, such as weights and measures, time zones and mileage
charts.
The applicable subheading for the "diary/appointment book"
will be 4820.10.4000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for other (non-enumerated) articles
similar to registers, account books, notebooks, order books,
receipt books and diaries. The rate of duty will be 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
