RE: The tariff classification of illuminated hand magnifiers
from Taiwan or Hong Kong.
Dear Mr. O'Neill:
In your letter dated May 16, 1990, on behalf of Lumar
International, Markesan, Wisconsin, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The item for which you request a ruling is a battery-
operated, illuminated hand magnifier with supplementary solar
cell. A sample was submitted.
The applicable subheading for the illuminated hand magnifier
will be 9013.80.2000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for hand magnifiers. 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
