RE: The tariff classification of a stainless steel pot scourer
from Taiwan.
Dear Jarvis:
In your letter dated April 16, 1990 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The sample you enclosed is a reusable, stainless steel
scouring pad for the heavy-duty cleaning of pots and metal
surfaces.
The applicable subheading for the stainless steel scouring
pad will be 7323.10.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), which provides for kitchen articles of
steel, pot scourers. The rate of duty will be 2.2 cents per kg.
and 2.5 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
