RE: The tariff classification of a credit card calculator/wallet
from China.
Dear Ms. Suchor:
In your letter dated November 7, 1991, you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
The merchandise under consideration consists of a "Lady
Ronte'" vinyl credit card calculator/wallet. This credit card
calculator/wallet measures approximately 4 1/2 -inches in length
by 3 3/4-inches in width. The wallet is designed to accommodate
a small fitted LED display electronic calculator which is
included, and has a pocket for credit cards. It closes by means
of a metal snap closure.
The essential character of this composite article is the
calculator. GRI 5(a) is noted. The case appears to be specially
shaped and fitted to contain the article intended, which is the
calculator. This credit card calculator/wallet is not of the
type which is classified under the HTS heading 4202.
The applicable subheading for the "Lady Ronte'" vinyl credit
card calculator/wallet will be 8470.10.0040, Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for display
only electronic calculators capable of operation without an
external source of power. The rate of duty will be 3.7 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
