RE: The tariff classification of an ice cream scoop from Italy
Dear Ms. Willard:
In your letter dated August 1, 1995, you requested a tariff
classification ruling on behalf of Tupperware, U.S. Inc.
The item to be imported is an ice cream scoop measuring approximately
8-1/2 inches in length. It is a non-mechanical zinc alloy ice cream scoop
with a plastic covered handle. A sample of the ice cream scoop was
submitted, and we are returning it to you as requested.
The applicable subheading for the ice cream scoop will be 8215.99.5000,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for
spoons, forks, ladles, skimmers, cake servers, fish-knives, butter-knives,
sugar tongs and similar kitchen or tableware... other. 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
