RE: The tariff classification of a paint roller cover
washer/dryer from Pakistan.
Dear Mr. Shamoon:
In your letter dated August 30, 1995 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The 1 Minute Roller Wash-Dry accepts up to 9 inch roller
covers. The brochure instructs the user to "Place in sink. Turn
on water. Spin and press squeezer knob to clean and dry." The
water drains out of the bottom of the housing. The unit, made
almost entirely of plastic, measures 12 1/2" x 7 3/8" x 4" and
weighs 2.6 lbs. The components include a spin gear, cover holder,
squeezer, pivot and the squeezer knob.
The applicable subheading for the 1 Minute Roller Wash-Dry
will be 8451.40.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for washing, bleaching or dyeing
machines for textile yarns, fabrics or made up textile articles.
The duty rate will be 4.8 percent.
Articles classifiable under subheading 8451.40.0000, HTS,
which are products of Pakistan are entitled to duty free
treatment under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) upon
compliance with all applicable regulations, if the GSP is
renewed.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section
177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above
should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time
this merchandise is imported. If you have any questions
regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist Robert
Losche at 212-466-5670.
