RE: The tariff classification of anti-glare filters, compressed
gas dusters, and diskette cases from France, The Netherlands,
Canada, Israel
Dear Mr. Damko:
In your letter dated April 6, 1995, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The Polaroid CP-90 filter is an anti-glare filter designed to
be used in front of a computer monitor's screen in order to reduce
glare from the screen. The filter is composed of glass and has
thin-film vapor deposition coatings, circular polarizers, and
electromagnetic radiation shielding with static control. There are
two sizes of anti-glare filters; one is for 10-12 inch monitors and
the other is for 13-15 inch monitors. The Polaroid anti-glare
filter is in a frame with a hinge-type mounting which is designed
to fit most monitors.
The portable compressed gas dusters allow for air dusting of
computer printer components, CRT terminal keys, diskettes, disk
cartridge covers and other surfaces. The portable dusters consist
of chlorodifluoromethane packaged in seamless cans.
The diskette cases are plastic boxes for the storage of 3.5
inch and 5.25 inch diskettes. The cases are composed of high
impact polystyrene with see-through covers.
The applicable subheading for the anti-glare filter for
computer monitors will be 9002.20.8000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule
of the United States (HTS), which provides for filters and parts
and accessories thereof, other. The rate of duty will be 7.3
percent ad valorem.
The applicable subheading for the compressed gas dusters will
be 2903.40.4010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for halogenated derivatives of acrylic
hydrocarbons containing two or more different halogens; other;
fluorinated; chlorodifluoromethane (CFC-22). The rate of duty will
be 3.7 percent ad valorem.
The applicable subheading for the plastic diskette cases will
be 3926.10.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other articles of plastic; office or
school supplies. The 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
