RE: The tariff classification of a Styling Kit from Hong Kong or
Taiwan
Dear Mr. Follick:
In your letter dated December 1, 1994, you requested a tariff
classification ruling on behalf of Conair Corporation, East Windsor, NJ.
The sample you submitted is a folding plastic travel case with textile
string ties, two large inner zippered compartments, a smaller compartment
with flap/Velcro closure, and a metal hanger (hook). The case measures in
inches 16 by 9 in the open position and 6 1/2 by 9 when folded. The two
zippered compartments contain a pair of scissors, a brush, two combs and a
mirror.
The applicable subheading for the Styling Kit will be 9605.00.0000,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for
travel sets for personal toilet, sewing or shoe or clothes cleaning (other
than manicure and pedicure sets of heading 8214). The rate of duty will
be 8.1 percent.
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.
The sample is being returned to you as requested.
Sincerely,
Jean F. Maguire
