RE: The tariff classification of decorative glass articles and
lamps from Canada
Dear Mr. Williams:
In your letter dated April 29, 1991, on behalf of Eel River
Graphics and Glass, you requested a tariff classification ruling.
This ruling request covers two types of products. One type
of merchandise consists of decorative stained glass designs
mounted on wooden bases. These articles will be used as
centerpieces on tables and other furniture. The second type of
product consists of the centerpiece incorporating a lamp.
The applicable subheading for the decorative glass articles
will be 7013.99.7000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for glassware of kind used for
table, kitchen, toilet, office, indoor decoration or similar
purposes: other glassware: other: other: other: valued over
three dollars each: cut or engraved: valued over five dollars
each. The duty rate will be 7.2 percent ad valorem.
The applicable subheading for the centerpieces incorporating
the lamps will be 9405.20.8010, HTS, which provides for electric,
table, desk, bedside or floor-standing lamps: other. The rate of
duty will be 3.9 percent ad valorem.
Goods classifiable under subheading 7013.99.7000, HTS, which
have originated in the territory of Canada, will be entitled to a
five percent rate of duty under the United States-Canada Free
Trade Agreement (FTA) upon compliance with all applicable
regulations.
Goods classifiable under subheading 9405.20.8010, HTS, which
have originated in the territory of Canada, will be entitled to a
2.7 percent rated of duty under the FTA 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.
Sincerely,
Jean F. Maguire
