RE: The tariff classification of door trim sets from Germany
Dear Mr. Anderson:
In your letter on behalf of Andersen Corp., dated March 2, 1992,
received in this office on March 31, 1992, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.

escutcheon paltes, and related hardware. The Handle Set includes a key
operated lock.

provides for padlocks and locks (key, combination or electrically operated),

valorem.
The 2 3/8 Passage Trim Set-Interior consists of two handles, rosettes
and trim plates, a spindle, and related hardware. It does not contain a
lock.

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for

The 2 3/4 privacy trim set is similar to the passage trim set, but
comes with a privacy adaptor which allows the door to be locked from one
side. It is not key operated.

filed without a copy, this ruling should be brought to the attention of the
Customs officer handling the transaction.
