RE: The tariff classification of silver-plated copper icons from Poland.
Dear Mr. Laskowski:
In your letter dated August 30, 1990, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The icons consist of a lacquered, hand-painted religious picture on a
wooden backing. The icon is covered with a silver-coated copper shield and
backed in velvet.
The applicable subheading for the silver-plated copper icon will be
8306.21.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for statuettes and other ornaments. The rate of duty will be 6.5
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
