RE: The tariff classification of illuminated magnifier from
China
Dear Mr. Miller:
In your letter dated May 15, 1995, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The illuminated magnifier, Product number V357, is composed
of plastic and is designed for attachment to hand held video
games. Two AA size batteries fit into the magnifier and provide
power for two small bulbs. This item magnifies and illuminates
the video display of hand held video games.
The applicable subheading for the illuminated magnifier will
be 9013.80.2000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for magnifying glasses. The rate of duty
will be 6.6 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
