RE: The tariff classification of notebook pouches, erasers, and
stampers from China.
Dear Mr. Shapiro:
In your letter dated April 30, 1992, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The notebook pouches and erasers are composed of polyvinyl
chloride. The pouches are used to hold small office and school
supplies, such as pens, pencils, erasers and rulers. The pouches
have holes punched into them so that they can be placed in 3-
ring binders. The stampers are hand stamps designed to form an
impression, in this case an image of characters from a television
show. The remainder of the items will be answered in separate
rulings.
The applicable subheading for the notebook pouches and
erasers will be 3926.10.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), which provides for other articles of
plastics...office or school supplies. The rate of duty will be
5.3 percent ad valorem.
The applicable subheading for the stampers will be
9611.00.0000, HTS, which provides for date, sealing or numbering
stamps and the like, (including devices for printing or embossing
labels), designed for operating in the hand. The rate of duty
will be 5.3 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
