RE: The tariff classification of an electronic programmable timer
from China.
Dear Mr. Baker:
In your letter of February 8, 1993, on behalf of Aube

ruling on an electronic programmable timer.
The submitted sample, Model TI 1031, is a 7 day, 14 event
digital AC powered programmable timer with two backup batteries.
The timer is used to turn lamps and small appliances on and off by
setting the day, hour and minute. The TI 1031 timer is valued over
$5.
The applicable subheading for the Model TI 1031 electronic
programmable timer will be 9107.00.8000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule
of the United States (HTS), which provides for Time switches with
clock or watch movement or with synchronous motor: Valued over $5.
The rate of duty will be 45 cents each plus 6.4% plus 2.5
cents/jewel. [The model TI 1031 time switch has no jewels].
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,
