RE: The tariff classification of decorated tins from China
Dear Ms. Ohira:
In your letter dated November 4, 1992, on behalf of
Institutional Financing Services, Inc., you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The merchandise is a Lily Tin. It is a small can, painted
with lilies, that has a removable top. It somewhat resembles a
milk can in shape. Your letter indicates that the item is made
of tin plate.
The applicable subheading for the Lily Tin will be
7323.99.5000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for table, kitchen or other household
articles, of iron or steel, of tinplate. The rate of duty will
be 3.1 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
Area Director
