RE: The tariff classification of a branch shear pruner from
Taiwan.
Dear Ms. Bonace:
In your letter dated December 13, 1994, you requested a
tariff classification ruling. Your submitted sample will be
returned to you as requested.
The item, model #527201, is a branch shear pruner. The
pruner is constructed of steel with a plastic trigger shaped
handle. It is operated with one hand and cuts up to 9/16" diameter
branches. The pruner is 20 1/2" long and 5 1/2" high.
The applicable subheading for the branch shear pruner will
be 8201.50.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for secateurs and similar one-handed pruners
and shears, and parts thereof... The duty rate will be 1 cent each
+ 2.8% 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
