RE: The tariff classification of brass door knockers and coconut fiber mats
from India
Dear Ms Davis:
On March 15, 1990, we received your letter requesting a tariff
classification ruling on brass door knockers and coconut fiber mats. You
submitted an illustration of the door knocker and a sample swatch of the door
mat.
The applicable subheading for the brass door knockers will be
8302.41.9015, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for base metal mountings, other mountings, other. The duty rate
will be 5.1 percent ad valorem.
The applicable subheading for the coconut fiber mats will be
5705.00.1000, HTS, which provides for carpets of coir, with a free rate of
duty.
Articles classifiable under subheading 8302.41.9015, HTS, which are
products of India are entitled to duty free treatment under the Generalized
System of Preferences (GSP) upon compliance with all applicable regulations.
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
