RE: The tariff classification of "Wild Bird Feeders" from
France.
Dear Mr. Ward:
In your letter dated May 16, 1995 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The products in question, "Wild Bird Feeders", are hangable,
refillable plastic dispensers with food assortments as follows:
A) EBCO1FR Mixed Seed Feeder: 10% sunflower black, 10%
sunflower dark strip, 20% cut maize, 20% wheat, 5% red
dari, 5% buckwheat, 5% linseed, 20% millet and 5% canary.
Net weight 500 grams.
B) EBC02FR Peanut Feeder: whole peanuts. Net weight 500
grams.
C) EBC33FR Sunflower Feeder: sunflower striped seeds. Net
weight 250 grams.
The applicable subheading for the mixed seed feeder will be
2309.90.1050, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for preparations of a kind used in animal
feeding: other: mixed feeds or mixed feed ingredients ... bird
seed. The rate of duty will be free.
The applicable subheading for the sunflower seed feeder will
be 1206.00.0090, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for sunflower seeds, whether or not
broken...other: other. The rate of duty will be free.
Your inquiry does not provide enough information for us to
give a classification ruling on the peanut feeder. Your request
for a classification ruling should indicate whether the peanuts
are roasted or otherwise cooked.
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
