Textile fabric is glued to the base of the box. The body of the box, including the top and sides, is not covered with textile material. The box will be imported empty and is fitted to hold one watch.
The applicable subheading for the watch box will be 3923.10.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for articles for the conveyance or packing of goods, of plastics…boxes, cases, crates and similar articles. The rate of duty will be 3 percent ad valorem.
