RE: The tariff classification of plastic picture frames from
China.
Dear Mr. Coe:
In your letter dated June 17, 1993, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
You have submitted style Z2029, consisting of five oval
picture frames in various sizes. The frames are entirely of
molded plastic. Raised sections of the molded plastic are
decorated with gold painted trimming . The opening in which the
picture is placed is covered with glass. The backing is of
particle board. You also ask for classification of two different
kitchen organizer sets, styles SKU No. X9995 and SKU No. Z0489.
Without samples of this merchandise we cannot rule on their
classification.
The applicable subheading for the plastic picture frames
will be 3924.90.2000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for tableware, kitchenware, other
household articles and toilet articles of plastics, other,
picture frames. 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
