RE: The tariff classification of marmalades from Scotland.
Dear Mr. Taylor:
In your letter dated June 20, 1990, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
Photographs of four varieties of marmalade were submitted with
your letter. The products, Orange Marmalade with Rum DeLuxe,
Breakfast Orange Marmalade with Liqueur, Orange Marmalade with Bermuda
Black Rum, and Dark & Stormy Orange Marmalade with Ginger and Rum,
will be put up in glass jars containing 12 ounces (340 grams), net
weight. The labels and packaging materials identify the products as
items in "The Bermuda Brands Collection."
The applicable subheading for the marmalades will be
2007.91.4000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS),
which provides for jams, fruit jellies, marmalades... other... citrus
fruit... orange marmalade. The rate of duty will be 5.5 percent ad
valorem.
Section 304 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C.
1304), provides, in general, that all articles of foreign origin
imported into the U.S. must be legibly, conspicuously and permanently
marked to indicate the English name of the country of origin to an
ultimate purchaser in the U.S. The implementing regulations to 19
U.S.C. 1304 are set forth in Part 134, Customs Regulations (19 CFR
Part 134). The products in the photographs do not appear to be
properly marked with the country of origin. You may wish to discuss
the matter of country of origin marking with the Customs import
specialist at the proposed port of entry.
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
Area Director
