RE: The tariff classification of a diary/logbook, entitled
Cruise Ship Memories, from China, Hong Kong or The Republic
of Korea
Dear Mr. Smith:
In your letter dated July 23, 1996, you requested a tariff
classification ruling. A sample was submitted, which will be
retained for reference.
It is a three-ring loose leaf binder, of chipboard covered
with a grey unprinted textile, containing paper pages intended for
extensive hand written notations for recording experiences while on
a cruise. The pages are suitably printed with headings: Cruise Ship
Memories, Notes, People Met, organized as Day One, Day Two, etc.
There are also plastic pages with pockets for inserting
photographs.
The applicable subheading for "Cruise Ship Memories" will be
4820.10.2010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for: Diaries, notebooks and address books,
bound, of paper or paperboard. The rate of duty will be 3.2
percent.
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 or the control number indicated
above should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time
this merchandise is imported. If you have any questions regarding
this ruling, contact National Import Specialist Carl Abramowitz, at
(212) 466-5733.
Sincerely,
