RE: The tariff classification of a Scented Candle in a Tin, item
#517 from China.
Dear Ms. Cardinale:
In your letter dated March 28, 1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The prospective import is a cinnamon scented candle which
has been poured into a metal tin.
The applicable subheading for the candle will be
3406.00.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for candles, tapers and the like. The rate
of duty will be 5.8 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
