RE: The tariff classification of a quartz analog clock fitup made in Japan and imported from Hong Kong.

Dear Mr. Bozler:

In your letter dated May 4, 1995, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The submitted sample is a clock fitup containing a quartz analog, battery powered clock movement. The fitup is assembled with hands and dial and is enclosed in a plastic case for insertion into a clock case.

The applicable subheading for the clock fitup will be 9105.91.80, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Other clocks: Other: Battery or AC powered: Other. The rate of duty will be 30 cents each plus 6.9% on the case 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
Area Director
