RE: The tariff classification of electric trays, electric tea tables, and
electric rack/pants frizzlers from Brazil.
Dear Mr. Wadiche:
In your letter dated July 23, 1990 you requested a tariff classification
ruling.
The electrical warming trays are comprised of wood, tempered glass,
resistor wires and electrical cords. All models of the trays are used to
keep foods heated.
The electrical tea tables also keep foods warm and have additional
shelves for storage of plates, glasses and bottles. The tea tables stand on
the floor and are portable.
The electric rack/pants frizzler is a pressing machine and valet.
The applicable subheading for the electric warming trays will be
8516.79.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for other electrothermic appliances. The duty rate will be 5.3
percent ad valorem.
The applicable subheading for the electric tea tables will be
9403.60.8080, HTS, which provides for other wooden furniture. The duty rate
will be 2.5 percent ad valorem.
The electric rack/pants frizzler is classifiable under the subheading
8451.30.0000 HTS, which provides for machinery for ironing and pressing. The
duty rate will be 3.9 percent ad valorem.
Articles classifiable under subheading 8516.79.0000, 8451.30.0000 and
9403.60.8080 HTS, which are products of Brazil 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.
