RE: The tariff classification of a glass article from Taiwan
Dear Ms. Chastain:
In your letter dated August 11, 1998, on behalf of your
client, Decorator and Craft, you requested a tariff
classification ruling. A representative sample and an
advertisement of the item were submitted with your ruling
request.
The subject article, which is identified as "gazing ball",
is a ten inch hollow glass ball with an extending open neck. The
item has a reflective (mirror-like) appearance and will be used
as an outdoor lawn decoration. You indicated in your letter that
this item can not stand on its own. You further stated that this
product will be marketed in the United States with a twenty four
to thirty six inch high pedestal base.
The applicable subheading for the glass "gazing ball" will
be 7020.00.6000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other articles of glass: other. The
rate of duty will be 5.3 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 Jacob
Bunin at 212-466-5796.
Sincerely,
Robert B. Swierupski
