RE: The tariff classification of an aroma diffuser and a clock
radio from China
Dear Ms. Locks:
In your letter dated May 12, 1998 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The items in question are identified as stock # ARM-2 an
Aroma Sphere Deluxe Aromatherapy Diffuser and stock # SS-400
identified as a Sound SPA Deluxe Acoustic Relaxation Machine with
LCD Alarm Clock & AM/FM Radio. Samples and literature were
submitted for review.
The Aroma Sphere is a two-speed fan designed to be used in
conjunction with scented "beads" of oils to release aroma into a
room. It functions as a table fan and has a self-contained
electric motor.
The Sound SPA is an AM/FM Clock Radio which will also play a
selection of natural sounds, e.g., spring rain. The radio
contains an LCD clock display and a clock-timer.
The applicable subheading for the Aroma Sphere will be
8414.51.0090, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTSUS), which provides for other table fans with self-contained
electric motors. The rate of duty will be 4.7 percent ad
valorem.
The applicable subheading for the Sound SPA will be
8527.19.5015, HTSUS, which provides for other radios
incorporating a clock or clock-timer. The rate of duty will be
3.6 percent ad valorem.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177
of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above
should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time
this merchandise is imported. If you have any questions regarding
the ruling, contact National Import Specialist Kenneth T. Brock
at 212-466-5493.
