RE: The tariff classification of armored safety boxes from
Mexico
Dear Mr. Saavedra:
In your letter dated February 15, 1995, you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
The merchandise consists of the Models 610T-GY Personal
File, H-260T-GY Cash Box, the H-300T-GY Security Chest and the H-
400T-GY King-sized Insulated Security Chest. These armored steel
boxes have a textured grey enamel finish, and lock with a key.
The applicable subheading for the steel boxes will be
8303.00.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for armored or reinforced safes, strong-
boxes and doors, of base metal. The general rate of duty will be
5.3 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
