RE: The tariff classification of alabaster articles from Italy
Dear Mr. Zullo:
In your letter dated January 31, 1995, you requested a
tariff classification ruling regarding five alabaster articles -
an egg, a box, a photo frame, a soap dish and a pear. Samples of
these items were submitted with your ruling request. These
samples were sent to our Customs laboratory for analysis.
Laboratory analysis confirmed that the articles were made of
alabaster.
The applicable subheading for the alabaster articles will be
6802.91.30, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for worked monumental or building
stone...and articles thereof...other: alabaster. The duty rate
will be 5.2 percent 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
Area Director
