RE: The tariff classification of watch movements from Japan.
Dear Mr. Herrera:
In your letter dated April 17, 1995, on behalf of
Electrodynamics, Inc., you requested a tariff classification
ruling.
The submitted samples are quartz analog battery powered
watch movements with one jewel. According to your letter, these
watch movements will be used in miniature electro-mechanical hour
meters to be incorporated into air conditioning systems, business
machines, computers, etc.
The applicable subheading for the watch movements will be
9108.11.40, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for Watch movements, complete and
assembled: Battery powered: With mechanical display only or with
a device to which a mechanical display can be incorporated:
Having no jewels or only one jewel. The rate of duty will be 36
cents each plus 5.3% on the battery.
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
