decorated pewter tray-dish.
The applicable subheading for the pewter egg cups, and the
pewter salt and pepper shaker set with tray, will be

(HTS), which provides for other articles of tin of a type used
for household, table or kitchen use, suitable for food or
beverage service. The rate of duty will be 3.1 percent ad
valorem.
Goods classifiable under subheading 8007.00.1010, HTS, which
have originated in the territory of Canada, will be entitled to a
2.1 percent rate of duty under the United States-Canada Free
Trade Agreement (FTA) upon compliance with all applicable
regulations.
The applicable subheading for the pewter cardholder and
pewter tray-dish, will be 8007.00.1050 HTS, which provides for
articles of tin of a type used for household, table or kitchen
use, other. The rate of duty will be 3.1 percent ad valorem.

A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry
documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the

brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
transaction.
